Same thing at my house!
My Bichon isn't as big as your retriever ---but the 5 lb Yorkie rules the roost.
First of all, my Bichon is a 21-pound, very shy, gentle (but playful) dog. He and the puppy play all the time.
However, he gives in the puppy in every way. The puppy eats both bowls of food while the Bichon stands back and watches.
I have to hold the puppy in my arms --before the Bichon will even come in the house --probably because the first thing the Yorkie does is jump all over him and wants to play play play.
I don't know about your Yorkie - but mine totally wears my other dog out....playing, of course.
I guess our new slogan is: Dogs Drool - Yorkie's Rule!
