Hey everyone! I am new to YT and I need some advice! I have a 2 year old Yorkie who WAS the only dog in the house. He was around my parent's 2 yorkies until he was about 1. He is now in the house with 2 cats. They get along ok. We brought home a new puppy, about 12 weeks old, and Raja is mean to him. When we brought the puppy home, we made sure Raja was on the ground to sniff him. He was ok with him, until we picked up the puppy, Raja he completely changed and bit the puppy's ear. He has does this 3 times since then and made the puppy bleed. Raja is not neutered because we are breeding him one more time and will be neutered ASAP after that. I don't know what to do? We are debating on taking the puppy back to the breeder so my dog doesn't hurt him! The puppy isn't much smaller than Raja since he only weighs 3 pounds.
He is ok with the puppy when he is in his cage, he could care less that he is here, but when he is out, Raja completely changes. He starts shaking and his lips start to chatter and he starts crying. It's almost like he is super excited to see the puppy then he changes and gets aggressive. I am lost for ideas and any ideas, info, suggestions would be awesome! Thank you!
