Hi..well I can relate to having a 10 year old Yorkie. afew years ago now .and when I Iost his pal we bought another pup... At first the older dog wasn't too sure and the pup kept on teasing him etc. but actually the older dog seemed to calm him down..The odd nip etc. put the pup in his place straight away...so all was o.k.
The trouble is it could be worse for your older dog...Instead of the new pup just playing with your other pup...they could end up ganging up on your older dog..and giving her more stress having to fend off 2 pups instead of one.
Have you tried keeping the pup confined for a while away from your older dog..an older dog is set in its ways and just needs lots of space.!!
In my opinion I wouldn't get another just now..but work o getting these 2 together with careful supervision..and keep the pup away from the other dog more..unless you can watch it. It just takes time I think...but hopefully all will be well..
Chrisann.
