[L4Pups]

Greetings all! So happy to have found this forum. Lots of great information here. My question is regarding Yorkie behavior. I have a male Yorkie who will be 4 years old next month. Walter is a big boy at 11 lbs. A month ago I got a female Yorkie puppy named Abby who is 5 months old and weighs in at 4.2 lbs. At first Walter wanted nothing to do with the pup. However, after one month, he plays and romps with her and things get rough. They growl, snarl and chase each other. There is also a lot of mouthing and wrestling on both their parts and I worry that Walter is going to seriously hurt the puppy. On the other hand, Abby adores Walter and won't leave him alone. Still not quite sure how Walter feels about Abby although they will lie down and fall asleep together also. Apologies for the length of this post. I guess my basic question would be is this normal behavior when a new pup is brought into the household. I have owned Poodles all of my life and Walter is my first Yorkie. I love the breed as they are so bright, joyful and full of zest for life. Any information regarding my question would be appreciated. Would love to post a picture of the two of them but so far not having any luck in doing that.
