Thanks again, everyone, for your replies! I greatly appreciate everyone's opinions and input! I was so happy to hear about your situations where big dogs and yorkies are able to get along and be in the same household! I also appreciate your honesty about potentially tragic circumstances resulting from injury from a bigger dog.
I am happy to report that Miles and Brinkley's first weekend together went very well. Brinkley is definitely the epitome of a puppy--very playful, clumsy, and awkward. Miles is still in the puppy phase, too, and tends to instigate things a bit (just as you said, "miabellaamore"!). Their play time was carefully monitored by me (I was right down on the floor with them!), and Brinkley learned very quickly that he better be gentle with Miles, or else!!! Obviously, we have a long ways to go, and they will always be monitored. But this weekend made me feel a little better about the whole thing. |
