I have an 8 month old female Yorkie. She came into a home with a Black Lab (70 lbs.) and a Viszla (50 lbs). My daughter has a mini dachshound with a Wiermeraner (60 lbs).
It all depends on the larger dogs. Our Black Lab is 11 yrs old and doesn't bother with the puppy. Our Viszla is 2 yrs old and likes to play, so we don't leave them alone together or let the play get rough. My daughters Wiermeraner tolerates the pup and is extremely gentle, allowing her to take his bones, toys, etc. In fact he is grateful when my Yorkie comes to visit, then he ignores them both.
If the larger dogs are well trained and gentle, and if you keep vigilant, I don't see why you can't add a yorkie. |
