My Male Sneakers at 4yo is holding at just over 13lbs, My Female Becca at 2yo, has just recently weighed in at a very solid 8.3lbs, and needs every ounce of it, to deal with our new puppy Ichabod. Sneakers is Ickey's teacher, and Becca is his Play Mate. Given his frame and level of exercise, I expect him to reach about 8lbs as well. I've had several breeds though out my life, and once upon owning a Yorkie, thought I'd never consider any other breed, however...

I've been seriously thinking about moving out to the country, maybe 5 to 10 acres, and am worried just how my "little" guys would fair in that environment. I had certainly considered fencing, but given the range of wild critters out there, I'm seriously thinking about getting at least one larger Dog, sort of "security" for the Pack, and the Labrador comes to mind. Regardless of what breed I'd choose, bringing it into the Pack as a Puppy, and letting it grow up with my resident animals, would be the best way I believe.

Has/does anyone have this type mix ?
What breed do you think would "live" well with Yorkie's ?
Or, is this a bad idea ?
