Give the new puppy about half an hour to explore it's new home. Make sure you show the puppy where it's food/water and pee pad is right away.
After about half an hour bring your first yorkie into a none territorial room such as a living room (do not introduce them near food bowels, beds, toys).
When introducing them make sure both dogs are on the ground at equal levels and not in anyones arms or higher up then the other because they will see this as statis (dominance).
Be close to them incase anything goes wrong you can scoop one up right away. Do not force them on eachother.
It may take time for them to warm up to each other or they could be good friends right away. Make sure to give your first Yorkie a little more attention at first so he knows everything is alright and he has no need to be jelous or mean to the puppy.
Other then that, it's a lot of fun having two. We want to see pics
Good luck!
