Does anyone have advice on socializing new yorkies with existing pets in your home.

For example you have a 2 year old female. Introduce a 18 week old male, then you introduce a 10 week old female.
How do you predict aggressiveness toward the new dogs?
What about a female with pups 6-8 weeks old and if they are up running around and she gets aggressive with them, is this natural ? Biting them hard enough to exert pressure so it hurts the pup, may be not break the skin?
I seen some breeders have a room in their house dedicated to their dogs etc. but I didn't notice if they have the dogs separated by ages?

I know they are pack animals and their has to be the hierachy established.
