One of my sons has a Chocolate Lab. He has been to my home and was a perfect gentleman with Gracie. I took Gracie to Thanksgiving dinner at one of my other son's house and Bear was fine there also......until we went outside. When he saw Gracie outside, on her leash, he came running and wanted to step on her and he would not stop. He is very big and she is very small and his big feet going for her could have done some big damage. I picked her up and he went up on his hind feet at her. He was not vicious but dangerous. I had to take her inside. People beware! Don't leave a little dog unguarded with any dog that you are not well acquainted with! |
Oh, boy, are those wise words. A Yorkie around any big dog in any new setting or situation could be at risk just from their tiny size if the dog gets rowdy or anything. Just one big paw whacked across the back with enough downward force could really hurt a little dog weighing 60 - 90 lbs. less than them. Yorkie moms and pops have to be super careful with them a lot of times.
