Miley is 7 weeks old and loves to bark, growl and play. She attemps to do so with her mom but mom isnt so playful as far as that goes. My 1 yr old 3 lb Chihuahua Hannah plays with her but can be a little rough at times. Hannah being a Chihuahua wants to POUNCE on things. So she will do a "FLY BY" and like try to roll Miley and I get on to her about it and she just takes off and hides haha.
Miley can hold her own though. She thinks she is a big dog and will go find Hannah and bark and growl at her wanting to play. I just feel sad that she hasnt anybody her own size that she can play with during this crucial learning stage. I dont worry she wont be socialized because she has Hannah to grow up with but I worry she wont get the skills etc other puppies in litters get...  am I making any sense? |
I think it doesnt matter with how big they will get... and as far as my Gracie adjusting... she did just GREAT!! and its not like your baby is going to be a singleton because of your chi
I think your chi will have to get use to a baby and she will learn how to be softer with her... and I would look into play groups for your little one... as long as she has all of her shots
and socialize her with as many dogs and humans and as often as you can
they really need to meet new dogs and people while they are young!! I hope I answered all of your questions...???
