2 boys...did I just set myself up for disaster? I have a 10-month old male yorkie whom I've wanted to find a playmate for.
Well, this past Friday, I went and got another two month old male yorkie pup.
Now I was contemplating on getting a female at first, but I was told by several yorkie owners that a male and female don't get along. I was strongly advised to get another male. I found this hard to believe, but I trusted what the yorkie owners had to say.
Well, the past two days since I introduced the new puppy to my older puppy, the two of them have been "challenging" one another. There are some growls and barks exchanged. I noticed that the 2-month old puppy is the one who is initiating most of it! He's way smaller (2.0 lbs) vs. my 10-month old (12 lbs)! My new puppy even started "humping" my 10-month old. Can you believe that?!
I guess my question is, for those who own 2 males, have you experienced any of this? How do you make them get along?
I'd also like to add that I work during the day. I'm guessing I should put them in separate rooms until they get along. |
