 Toy Yorkie living with larger dog
I just got a toy yorkie, Paisley. She is barely 2 pounds and I was hoping I could get some feedback from people who own a small yorkie and a larger dog. We currently have a 27 pound boxer mix that is 4 months old. The vet says the boxer puppy, Hurley will most likely get to 50-60 pounds.
Now I know Yorkies are delicate little animals and I will be lucky if Paisley gets to be 5 pounds. My boxer puppy seems fine with her, he licks her face and is gentle with her, but I still worry, because he can be excited and clumsy sometimes.
I am keeping her away from him for the most part right now until they get used to each other. And they absolutely will never be together without supervision unless they are crated. I have heard that small dogs and large dogs can live fine with each other, but I can't help but obsessively worry about every move he makes when he is near her, (keep in mind his clumsiness). Advice anyone? |
