Just any help at all would be appreciated!!!

Thanks.

I have a 100 lb mix dog and 3 yorkies....my smallest being 4lbs. Dakota has never hurt Tulip....they get along fabulously! But when I leave the house for whatever reason....I do NOT leave Dakota with the little ones..it's just a precaution....

As far as trying to get the dog to grow larger safely.. A dogs weight is determined by genetics.....and unless you want to make it "overweight" then the answer is No....But since your other dog is only 13lbs...I don't think that's a big deal at all! If you're nervous leaving them alone....just separate them when you're gone until you know how they do together. I would do that anyhow since the puppy is small right now. That's if you decide to get it.

Is your 13 lber fixed? It would be very dangerous if you get a female and have her around an intact male...esp. 13 lbs.
