Oh my ... I have fostered and worked with rescues for decades ... introducing a male puppy to an un altered boy ... is dangerous - it should be ok until the little one gets the first hormones- starting at 16 weeks to 8 months- then ... there is a potential to real injury and fights, marking and unwanted behavior ... un-altered males that live together in relative peace must have different personality with one being very submissive and one being the leader - and you will have to be willing to support those roles ( feeding one first ... always giving the dominant animal more/first dibs on cuddles ... ). I have taken in many, many boys from multi dog households that were not altered in time and surrendered due to vicious fights and lasting aggression - not usually in the puppy stage but when they are about the one year mark ...the problem is that many of these unwanted behaviors - especially the marking doesn't go away one it appears and is allowed to continue for months .. re-homing a male that marks is difficult ...and un -altered yorkies will end up in puppy mills if they ever escape or they get attacked by larger dogs ... two intact males rarely work out - your breeder has very odd advice for you and I would suggest to consult some vets, animal trainers for more info ...the reason we are voicing strong opinions here is because we are concerned ... I have rehabbed a baby one that was mauled by his "brother" - lost an eye , was traumatized for life .. owner claimed the they got along so well for months that they had just left them for a few minutes to go to the store- there had been mild growling before but no fights ... both small breed unaltered males ... please be careful ... |
