Rowdy's 14 weeks and we are starting puppy class on Sept.7th and I would like to get him socialized with some other puppies before then. My best friend has a rat terrier/pitt bull (Riley) that's 1 yr and a weimeranier (sp?)/who know what (Dixie Lee) that's 17 weeks. Her two play rough with each other, but would they be more gentle with Rowdy? They are both REALLY sweet dogs and Riley is much more like a rat terrier than a pit so the breed thing doesn't really bother me its just the size. He's not tinie tiny...we already 3 lbs, but I know they are still a lot bigger. Rowdy and Champ (my 8 year old yorkie) play great, but then again Champ's only 5 lbs.

What are your opinions about letting yorkie babies play with bigger breed puppies?
