Merging Baby Yorkie with older yorkies in family I just got a yorkie pup a few days ago. I'm having some issues socializing and would like some advice. She likes her crate at this time and sleeps in there and comes out as soon as she wakes up. She's full of energy and looks like a little rabbit jumping around enjoying all the new things around her.
I have 2 yorkies that are 5 years old. They are both loveable and playful like puppies, but they keep running away from Bella (3 lbs to their 8 and 11 lbs). Bella is quite playful but they won't play with her and if she gets too boisterous and close to them they growl and snap at her. Mostly they just run though. My male yorkie actually trembles around her and he has been sick several times now. It's like his nerves are frazzled by this tiny little life.
My cat is the one who is nurturing funny enough. Chester is 13 lbs and is gentle as he can be with her. Very patient and when she gets too feisty he just jumps up on something out of reach.
I've had her in anther room since our dogs mostly hang out in our bedroom and the female at least comes out every once in a while to sniff. I stay out in the living room with her and today finally brought her crate into the bedroom. Is it too soon? Any advice to calm my male? |
