I have a similar situation. We have an eight year old German Shepard mix who weighs about 65 pounds. She is the sweetest dog but just doesn't want anything to do with the yorkie. She tolerates him but does show her teeth and growl when he bothers her too much. I keep them apart which isn't too difficult because she goes up stairs when she has had enough and he doesn't like the stairs. I also have baby gates up in two rooms. I let him play with her for about fifteen minutes a day supervised. I really wish she would play with him more but I guess she is getting too old to put up with a puppy. I don't think she would ever attack him but would never leave them alone together. You never know. I also never let them have any food/bones together.
I would really like to get another yorkie but that isn't a possibility right now. |
