[Ellie May]

I think it can be fine. Some are very gentle when they play, but many dogs aren't. So worst case is the dogs would have to be separated or not allowed to play together. I would not leave a big dog and a small dog alone together.

Ellie is very jealous over other dogs too. I also figured another Yorkie wouldn't be right for our family because of that. They just love laps too much. So for Ellie, a dog that was more interested in playing on th floor was best. Also found out after we got Rylee that she does ok with males. She may not do quite so well with females.

They play rough, and yes, we may have an accident someday. He does overdo it. But there is only 9 pounds difference for them and I have decided that the risk is worth it because Ellie has started to love him. They are becoming friends. She snaps at him lots, but then the other part of the day she kisses and paws at him. Now a part of me almost feels guilty that she didn't have a friend all along. It has made her more active and she enjoys her day. And if he throws her back out or tramples her organs, we'll deal with it. lol. That said, I would not allow her to play rough with a large dog. Way too much risk. I feel like her playing rough with a 15 pounder is risky enough.
