  [QUOTE=yorkshire_diva;4639094]Hi, I have a 4 lb. yorkie, Skittles, who wasn't trained or socialized properly as a puppy. We are now considering adding a boxer to the family. A friend of mine fosters dog and recently got a boxer liter, and I fell in love with one of the puppies. I've worked with boxers before and I know that socialized and trained correctly they are amazing dogs, especially around other animals. The problem is our 4 year old yorkie is aggressive towards other animals. 
 [QUOTE=yorkshire_diva;4641424]I truly do appreciate your concern for my dogs, but I'm not getting a boxer. They are too high energy for my mom. Secondly, I will not be getting a puppy. 1 year and under. Teaching your dog how to wear a muzzle is actually a great idea.
 
 Your first post indicated that you were considering a boxer.
 
 In terms of introducing new dogs to the pack  the current thinking is on neutral territory and on lead.  Baring that a very controlled interior environment with hopefully two human adults present.
 
 You make the intro as low stress as possible with lots of love for both parties being expressed.
 
 And finally you as an OP can not dictate who posts what on the thread you create as long as the post does not violate YT rules about posting.
