I have not had to make that move before but I did recently place one of my adult moms whom I retired. I had given my granddaughter a rescue Yorkie almost 10 years ago and she died suddenly. Last year I had bought a Sheltie for the family. So new big puppy with old little Yorkie. NO PROBS with aggression. I gave Whisper(Yorkie) to them before Christmas and she weighed under 5 lbs. Sheltie now weighs over 20 pounds..this time big teenager dog and 2 year old adult female Yorkie. Still NO PROBS with aggression. It did take the dogs about 2 months to really play..Whisper was a quiet female during her time in my home with as many as 11 other Yorkies of differing ages.
This might not be of any benefit to you, but bottom line.it depends on how you handle them and the personalities of the dogs.. All of these dogs are females and they do have a tendency to be more assertive than owners realize..
