I too have a shih tzu, she's 8 years old now and we just got a new yorkie puppy. My shih tzu does not care for the puppy at all! I didn't really think she would have a hard time accepting a puppy, as we've added 2 kittens to our household in the last couple of years and she's done great with them. But she's not liking the puppy at all and even seems scared of her. It's only been a week, so I'm hoping she will warm up to her soon. In the maintime, the puppy is having great fun playing with a kitty that we're babysitting! I hope she doesn't end up thinking she's a kitty!
I'm sure things will work out. It just takes some time for all of them to get used to each other.
Good luck with your decision! |
