I agree with everyone else! You have good advice. I definitely think it depends on the individual dogs. Your Collie sounds like he's older and already does well with smaller dogs. Jackson is now 8 and I wouldn't really call him 'hyper'. He's very active still and does well with more activity but he's also perfectly content nowadays to sleep the day away if need be. I've been sick the past week and he's just been very chill. But if I'm ready to go for a 5 mile hike, so is he!
I think a Yorkie would be a good fit. Your Chi might take a few days or weeks to get used to the puppy -- that's always very normal, but in time, will likely love the playmate.
EDIT-- oops just saw the update! Congrats! |
