i think it is good for big & little dogs to socialize as long as you do it right i would never put my little dog to play with a 100 pound BOUNCIng dog but a calm one i dont see why not
Austin is a well socialized dog now i dont let him play with every huge dog but hes been with a few good ones and he loves it if they get to ruff both of us pull our dogs away
i think if you constantly coddle you little dog just cause there little youll have a dog that can play nice at all
ok im done again this is only my opinion |
I agree that little dogs need to socialize with big dogs, but big puppies are too rough and can hurt these little guys. A great Dane puppy could do some serious harm if he jumped on or even just pawed at a yorkie. They don't understand that they can't be that rough. But it could permanently disable a small dog, or even kill it.
My daughter has a chocolate lab and he is very good with my yorkies now, but when he was younger he scared then half to death, and I didn't blame them for being frightened.
