Size was important to me because, let's face it, dogs WILL fight once is a while and an almost 7lb dog will seriously hurt a 3lb dog. The purchase price + shipping was $1100. I'm not even counting the vet bills I've endured so far.

Your right. It was an expensive lesson and I don't think I'll ever trust anyone again.
I am still wondering if she was someone's pet or she was being sold as a possible breeding female for that price? She sounds like she is very dominant and I would be very worried about leaving her alone with your little 3 lber. I know plenty of people that have smaller and even teapots living together but their personalities are compatible but unfortunately that does not seem like the case here. I had a foster pup in my home that went after Doodlebug when he was only a little puppy. He was placed into a new foster home because not only was he much larger but also their personalities didn't match to mine and truthfully I was worried he would hurt him. If she will not take her back I would suggest that you talk to a Yorkie rescue in your area about rehoming her properly. It does not seem to me that this has happened for this little girl yet 2 homes in her short life is just not far. I am not suggesting that you have to turn her over to a rescue but there are plenty of people that are looking for that perfect Yorkie and I am sure that a good rescue would be willing to help you find a her a perfect home. They screen all their applicants very well and always try to match the pup to the home and owner's lifestyle. Truthfully, the end goal of a reputable rescue is to find a FOREVER HOME and not just a different home. Such a sad story.
