They love each other! Luchi and Roman were both about 2-3 years old at the time. Luchi had never been around a dog Roman's size, but it's like he knew he couldnt play super rough. With a puppy it might be different because part of being a puppy is learning how hard you can play with something.
You should make sure that the GSD isnt too rough with the yorkie and make sure the yorkie isnt super scared. If the yorkie were to snap out of fear, that could cause the GSD to snap back and that would not be good. They didnt have much room to run around as we were in a living room, which I feel helped because Luchi couldnt run and chase Roman...i wouldnt want Luchi to think Roman was prey. They were always in site, so we could monitor what they were doing. So my experiences have gone good, but I would never let them be together unattended. It wouldnt take much for a GSD to hurt a yorkie. I hope the meeting goes well!
Here's a few pictures of Roman and Luchi playing |
GREAT pics! What a beautiful GSD. It makes me miss my Sadie.
Jackson loves bigger dogs, and I just take each situation accordingly. The other day I went to a dog park during the day and there was barely anyone there. No dogs in small section, about 3 in big section, all 3 were mellow (1 was a Golden, the other 2 were mixes) so I asked if they were good with little dogs and owners said yes, very gentle, so we opened the gates and let them all play. I wouldn't even say play, they kind of just walked around and sniffed each other, lol.
Jackson loves my aunt's Pit Bull
and they get along great. I trust Max and I trust Jackson.
I also dogwalk a Rottie 5x a week and have begun bringing Jackson with me. The Rottie is only 14 weeks old now and they do great together, Jackson actually teaches the Rottie pup stuff, and encourages him etc.
