I have been in your shoes, we got a yorkie a year and a half ago and he was the perfect dog, so easy to train, just a little love bug, never really got into much, doesn't really bark. I thought he needed a friend, did some research, asked some questions on the board and got another one in April of this year. I mean within 24 hours I thought I made a big mistake. This little 1.8lbs beast I bought home was dominating our lives. He was nothing like my Samson, so different and over the weeks it got worse. And he fought and dominated Samson like you would not believe. This little guy was totally the alpha male. I regretted my decision and cried about it, I even felt bad because I wanted him gone (I knew I wouldn't but it was how I felt). Fast forward to a lot of work, training, patience, and love and we made it through it. Do they still fight over things, yes. He can still be dominate at times but they have a love hate relationship. I always say they love hard and fight hard. Samson has learned to stand his own, I learned to be a pack leader more and Harley has learned his boundaries. I wouldn't trade Harley for anything. In many ways he can be more of a lovebug than Sam at times. They both bring so much to my live. I know its hard to see now but give it time, do be the pack leader, set boundaries for them and it will work out.

Good luck and keep us posted.
