I think SWHouston has good advice. I do think personality is the most important ingredient. Rubin got along well with Noah (RIP) they were both neutered, But he did not get along with Zacky (RIP) and they fought off and on. Zacky was not neutered. Rubin is 8 years old, and gets along with 10 month old Abba who is not neutered. I have 4 Yorkies. Gracie is the Alpha or at least accepted as it by all the dogs. All the dogs fight with Ginny Joy, a 9 month old female (she is the youngest and biggest Yorkie, she weights 7 pounds and a few ounces) She does not respect personal space and wants to play all the time. From time to time Gracie (not quite 5 pounds and 3 years old) bites Ginny Joy hard making her yip and do a belly up roll. Then the boys rush in and bite at Ginny Joy too. I always break it up. Our Lab is very good natured and easy going but she growls at Ginny Joy and sometimes holds her down between her paws. I also have fosters in and out and they do not seem to like Ginny Joy either. Dogs don't like Ginny Joy too much. She is the smartest Yorkie and is so easy to train. She is healthy and beautiful, and loves to be fussed over. She would make a perfect only pet for someone.
