Poor Rocky

[YORKIE7]

So as you all know I have had Rocky since Sunday. The poor little baby has had no peace from Gypsy-Rose and they have been fighting really badly. It started off as play fighting but has now got so bad that I have had to seperate them I have 1 in the crate while the other comes out to play and then I switch them over every 45 mins. It has been so hectic and I haven't been able to pay hardly any attention to Duke and Duchess . So Rocky is going to his new home later, to live with my older brother. As my brother isn't able to afford to care for Rocky, I am going to pay the pet insurance, buy his food and toys and clothes, and pay for his vet bills and grooming etc. I wanted to keep Rocky in the family, so i will still see him 4 times a week . The old lady is happy for me to do this, in the hope that one day he will be able to come back and live with me (once i work on Rocky and Gypsy becoming friends)

Gypsy-Rose is 14 weeks and Rocky is 10 weeks, but Gypsy is a lot stronger than poor Rocky,im hoping to have him back as i would love to keep him

Maybe they just need alittle bit more time to get use to each other.

oh only babies then, i thought they were older. my 2 boys use to fight when they were pups but as they got older they got on fine and they love each other to bits. im sure its just puppy stuff and would blow over in a few weeks. a lot of pups have a short fuse and then will have tantrum at the other pup, thats normal. how long have you had the new pup?

Yes they are only babies, and i expected fighting,i went through that with my others.But this is really bad fighting,they really hurt eachother.Im planning to take Gypsy to my brothers each time I go, to introduce them slowly. I had to do this or 1 of them would have got hurt badly.I love Rocky though he i sooo cute! I hope like yours that they will be best of friends when they are bigger

Same thing happened with my Holly and Trixie (Holly being the puppy and Trixie being the 7 year old). My parents ended up giving away Holly which still eats at me to this day. It's a shame some of them just are instinctive fighters/leaders.

I know it is so horrible to have to give them away, but Im lucky as i will still get to see him Gypsy is very dominant but hopefully she will come round and learn not to be a bully!
