I mean this is a tiny pup 9.5mos old lola @3lbs ---twds Baby girl which is 4 yrs old and shes 15lbs. I mean??? Yes I think its that dominance thing but wow theres just no reason because Baby girl is so calm and just goes with the flow of things.
She will bark at the mailwoman and others she doesnt know but thats norm, Not what lola is doing biting someones head off and almost drawing blood!
My husband never gets close enough emotions wise to pets so he didnt wanna try to fix her. He wanted to adopt her back out I said thats not fair.
And right to a pup they are part of the family now I cant do that.  |
This is a difficult situation all around. Is your Yorkie Lola the only unneutered dog in the household?
At 9.5 months old your Yorkie while still a pup is approaching her first heat, and growing up a bit.
Female to Female aggression can happen and when it does can be very hard to correct, or to manage. They are called "bitches" with some reason
The fact that your Yorkie is okay with the male maybe indicative of a dog that is not aggressive to all dogs, but maybe to the female species. She may also be approaching her first heat and with that and being in a new home is "unsettled".
There are some things you can try. Get her out with you for good active walks, tire her out. Then have your hubby or your girlfriend, walk the two females, each person has a female. Immediately correct any aggression of Lola's to the other female. Then walk on. Treat reward for good behaviour on Lolas part as well as your other female.
In terms of breeding. Until you research the whole topic of Yorkie breeding and there are threads in the Yorkie Talk Library as a starting point for your research, it's too premature to even consider this. You will also need a good mentor, Yorkies are toy breeds, who need help with whelping, and have some serious health concerns, which you will have to research the lines of both dogs, do the preliminary health screening for, etc. It is a very serious commitment and responsibility to breed good healthy yorkies. representative to the standard, with the Correct Temperament.
And for all breeds a very broad rule of thumb is DO NOT BREED a dog with an unstable/and or aggressive temperament.
Finally if you are unable to correct this aggressive behaviour within two -three weeks, then contact an animal behaviourist/trainer in your area.
As a last note, sometimes despite the best efforts of training, behaviour modification two females will not get along, particularly if they are two unneutered females.
I hope this has helped
