I'm not hoping they will become good friends. I want them to be good friends and if they can't then at least tolerate each other. I would appreciate advice and not opinions. Kicking one dog out because he is too big is not an option. They are our family. |
There are many YT members who have large dogs in the same home as their Yorkies. However, Ladymom has been on YT long enough to read enough tragic stories of Yorkies being killed by their larger family members. It is a risk.
There was a story here not too long ago about one member who came home to a bloody, heartbreaking surprise. Even if you supervise closely, attacks can happen too quickly for you to stop.
The GSD needs professional training one way or the other. I have owned large dogs, and I firmly believe they need highly qualified trainers.
