My yorkie was about 8 months when we adopted our chihuahua mix, Byron, who is approximately 3 yrs old. I had not clue how he would react, since he is a very jealous boy...and the chihuahua was an adult and i didn't know if he tolerated other animals.
Well, first thing i did was take both of them to a "neutral ground" which was on the outside of my house, at first i thought i would have problems, but 30 min later they were playing...when i was 100% sure they were getting along fine is that i started getting closer to my house, and then inside i would keep an eye at them at all times, but thank God, i was very lucky, as they never ever ever got in a fight. Today they are best friends and play all the time.
I also didn't have any problems with them fighting for territory or with jealousy, and they were only neutered 3 months later. |
