First off welcome to YT this is an awesome place for information. I will tell you and I could be wrong but Yorkies seem to be thefriendlier with other animals than most dogs. Georgie is so sweet to everyone and every animal. I guess it depends on the dog as well and how you introduce them to each other. I am suprised someone said a Jack Russell would be good with birds, my brother has 2 Jacks and they are extremely wild. Good luck with your search. I am bias but I love Yorkies
