I have introduced four new yorkies to my 8 yr old (also yorkie) in the past 1 1/2 yrs.Three of those were puppies, and one was 6 yr old. Let them be, they do figure it out. Don't worry about the nipping, when it is too rough for Lily, she will let Ruby know it. Lily is already teaching Ruby (with the whimper) that nipping that hurts is not acceptable.
