We've had our female Rio for over a year now and she's such a little diva. She's affectionate only on her terms, and when she's done giving kisses and getting belly rubs, she wants her space and is very independent. She is very dominant and thinks she rules the roost.
We just recently brought home a new male puppy and we immediately saw such a difference. He's such a cuddle bug and is sooooooo loving. He wants to snuggle and sleep right up against us, or even lying right on top of my shoulder or neck.
Luckily Rio is very well socialized and dog friendly, so she accepted him pretty quickly,with no fights so far. Sometimes she plays a little rough and may bite too hard but he quickly lets her know that it's not okay to hurt him.
We purposely chose a male for our second Yorkie, since I've read that a female/male combination usually works out pretty smoothly. So far, so good! |
