Having raised two obedience trained, lovely, intelligent, do-anything-to please German Shepherds--and understanding your belief in your dog and your own abilities, I don't think it's a good idea to mix the two. It's impossible to comprehend how quickly things happen--a quick turn of the head and a 'training' nip from your dog could damage your yorkie puppy severely--physically as well as emotionally (I learn everyday from Piper just how sensitive these pint-sized packages are). It is no reflection on you or your current dog as I'm sure you're loving, caring and careful. But again, it's simply unimaginable how quickly something can happen and the sheer difference in size could result in great pain for all concerned. |
