If your boyfriend really cares about you and your little dog he will research the breed he wants and decide on a non prey driven dog. Yorkies are attacked quite frequently by prey dogs that see the little furry thing as a toy to chase and shake. They do not distinguish between a squirrel and a fluffy dog. One shake is all it takes. There is no way you could continually keep them apart in the same household. A young Shiba Inu would be constantly wanting to play and interact. The play would be deadly through. Maybe you read about a certain young actress whose Yorkie was killed by her own bull dog that has lived there for at least 2 years?Up until that day it was just fun and games. If you love your little dog then do the right thing for her. |
