I'm very worried. They don't get along at all ! Piccolo (13 m) was mad at me when I brought Annie ( 9 m).
He snapped at her and I think he was bitting her in not a playful manner at all.
She wanted to play with him since she came from home of 7 breeder's yorkies ranging from a few weeks old to 4 y old.
She is a toyhog and all the toys belonged to Piccolo, though I bought 2 new toys for her.
Yesterday and today - all I'm doing is seperating them because I'm not sure if all this fighting is serious or not.
I called the breeder and she said she would take her back if they continue fighting like that. She gave me a week. I'm not sure if it's enough time or not.
It was very nice of her since she already mailed registration papers.
I am already madly in love with her and don't know what to do...
Yeah, I would say a week is not going to be enough time. I'm no expert, because Eddie still occasionally beats up Jack, but here are a few things to try:
* If the fights are not serious -- no blood, no one gets hurt -- let them work it out on their own. Hopefully, Piccolo will allow her to play with some toys of her own.
* If you do break up a fight, don't scold one and baby the other. Just break it up and take away all toys for a while. Stay calm.
* If the fights are over toys, you should take control of the toys. Put them away at night, give them to them the next day.

Good luck.
