Here is my two cents worth and my experience with my four year old Dudley. Who we also spoiled rotten and he also went everywhere with us.
IT was "horrible" for the first three or four weeks after we brought baby Dinkey home at 12 weeks old. Dudley hated him, he would not eat, play, snuggle, come to us, or do any of his "normal" things. He stayed in his bed for the most part and anytime little Dinkey came close to him, he would attack him. Like he was going to eat him alive......growled, nipped, snapped!!!! I had to hand feed Dudley chicken and rice behind closed doors away from Dinkey before he would eat.....I WAS WORRIED SICK....and I just kept thinking "what have I done to poor Dudley?" He was sooo upset with us bringing home a new brother for him........now mind you, Dinkey is a darling little fuzz ball that only wanted to love you and play, play, play and run and jump and play some more..........with Dudley.
Dudley finally accepted the fact the Dinkey was staying and I would say he tolerates him now. On a happy note, they do play some........but it's mostly Dinkey playing. He's such a happy little fella!
What I wish........ is that I had gotten Dudley a brother when he was about a year old or younger. I think they would have bonded much better IMO! I really want to get a little girl (both boys were neutered at 6 months) while Dinkey is still young. I think they would have a great time playing and bonding. PLUS..........I also have "puppy fever!!!!!" I think even adopting an older female, like 2 or 3 yrs old would be GREAT! Our home is full of Yorkie LOVE!
