I wouldn't worry about the size. I have a 5 pound Yorkie (16 weeks old and still growing)..... I brought him home when he was about 3 1/2 to 4 pounds and from the first week he has been "hell on wheels" as far as playing goes and more than holds his own with my 21-pound Bichon. I kid you not - they will run and play (sometimes for more than a hour) from one end of the house to the other and have a great time. My Bichon is 4 years "young" and he seems to be the first one to poop out.
As I type, they have been playing for almost an hour - and, I do mean running and jumping.
*** Have to mention that my Bichon's former best friend was a larger dog and a cat about his own size. I often tossed him and his cat friend outside because they carried on for so long. My Bichon is a very playful - gentle dog.
Good luck!!! |
