Hi Yorkie Family,

I have a yorkie son that is 2 years old and is spoiled to the core as most of the fur babies on here. He plays very well with other animals and is very friendly to everyone he meets. He is a major cuddle bug. My husband purchased me a yorkie daughter and my yorkie son played with her the first night. The next day, he figured out that she was here to stay and he became depressed. He runs away from her each time she comes near him and he growls at her. I have listed all of the things I have tried to do to get him to accept her and I would love other suggestions.

1- I introduce them daily to each other
2- I have spent "alone" time with him to show him he is still our baby too
3- I have tried to arrange play time with both of them together (never works)
4- I hold her and pet him while holding her
5- I hold each of them (one in each arm) and try to assure him it's okay
6- I tell him not to growl or bark at her when he does it
7- I show each of them attention
8- Bathed both of them in the same shampoo to try to get same scent

I have no idea what else I can do. I am beginning to wonder if I can keep her. He doesn't try to bite her but he does growl and run away from her. She was crying this morning and he came to her but when she started trying to play with him he ran away again. He has sniffed her while she was sleeping but doesn't get too close when she is awake. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
