So, your big boy should learn how to play w/ the little ones but I would keep them separated when the big one is otherwise playing or running.
Thanks for input.
I love the boxer breed and they are unfortunately another breed people often misunderstand.

We keep them seperated when we are not home. My dh has a home office and while he worked at home today, he kept Ernie with him.

I *really* appreciate all the people sharing their experiences with Yorkies and larger dogs. Makes me definitely feel better about making this work.
sigh...
