My yorkie breeder steered me to a female. I have a Westie and he does not get along too well with other males. Common in the breed, I understand.
She said male/female is the best combination for success - especially for me - I'm a novice to multiple dog households.
It has taken a lot of work and the Westie still dominates Lucy a bit. He never bites her but stands over top of her and she squeals. We don't yet leave them alone together unsupervised.
When they play together - it is really sweet - but I'm not sure they will ever be snuggled up together. Ringo snuggles with my son and Lucy with me. Ringo would never have accepted another male though. No doubt in my mind about that.
Like the other poster said, I got Lucy so Ringo would have a companion (not to mention the fact that I always wanted a yorkie) but I wonder if he could talk - would he have really wanted a 'companion'. Or was it mainly for me? |
