I have a 120lb GSD and a 7lb Biewer. They get along just fine.
The only time I watch them carefully is when the little one gets really hyper and wants to play with the big one and he goes along with it. Then they are just nuts, but this only happens once a week or so.
I had the GSD first and he is super mellow and relaxed. If I did it the other way around, I'd probably be a little more concerned.
My Biewer also plays with my husband's parent's Chessie and my sister's Husky with no problems and when at daycare spends the day in the big dog pen, where they have an Irish wolfhound, great Danes, labs, etc. There is also another little yorkie that spends the day in the big dog pen as she has a big dog sibling.
Just make sure to know the temperament of the big dog and I think you'd be fine.
(my parent's neighbors also have a Chinese crested, 2 mastiffs, and a great Dane and they all seem to get along fine) |
