I don't understand this either..why would you get rid of the older dog and keep the new one? I'm not criticizing just asking. I would re-think having a yorkie period if I were you because they can be very hyper if not given plenty of exercise and play time. I am lucky that my girls are calm but then again i live on 6 acres and have 4 children to wear the pants off of them. The big guy has been with you longer hasn't he? I think his feelings should come first in this issue because he has established himself in your home..the new puppy hasn't even had a chance to totally bond with you yet. If for some reason I had a new pup that no matter what just didn't fit in I would consider rehoming the new one before I would the one i had for a long time. And this is not said to hurt your feelings but for me I couldn't see get rid of any of my yorkies. There are too many behaviorist and trainers out there for that to happen. It takes time for a dog to get used to a new puppy. As far as hubby goes..he was in there when it was time to get both dogs from what i'm gathering so maybe instead of telling you to just get RID of them maybe he just needs to HELP you get them used to the new situation..
So my advice would be you both either need to buckle down to make it work or find homes for both cause if you can't handle the first one ..you won't be able to handle the second one or any yorkie after that. Good luck
