You need to be very careful with your little one being around big dogs as many Yorkies will attack first (could be fear aggression or the terrier in them) and will go after big dogs without a thought. Many have died because of this. They just do not see themselves as small.

Moose my 4# rescue (has no teeth) has no fear of other dogs and luckily my other yorkies just ignore him but if I had a large dog he could easily turn and bite him in half. I would never introduce Moose to another dog without being in total control of the situation as Moose could easily attack and the other dog would react and bite back.

I think you can get another Yorkie but it needs to be around his size.
