Yorkie Yakker | HELP! Advice needed on introducing female pup to 9 month old male Hello all! I currently own a beautiful 9 month old Yorkshire terrier, Preston, and he is not neuted. This is because we are going to start showing him, we are just waiting on the papers to process. We have also had news that our female puppy is finally available in three weeks time to bring home, she will be 8 weeks. Does anybody have any advice on the best way to introduce them to each other? And any handy tips, I'm worried Preston might try and hump her as he does my brothers dog which is a larger maltese x s**tzu, but its more of a dominance thing as he does it all over her. Please do not tell me to de sex, we plan on showing both dogs so it's not possible. Any advice or tips would be fantastic!!!

| First of all it would be better if the breeder of your female pup could keep her at least a couple more weeks. If that is not possible then my advise is to setup a x-pen for the puppy or a separate area so you can keep them separated when not under close supervision. Most males would readily accept a puppy and be somewhat tolerate of a puppy but it really depends on the personality of the male and the puppy. Keep in mind that if you are trying to grow show coat that a puppy can really tear up another dogs coat just playing. Mainly the topknot gets attacked. We would love to see pictures when you have time. |

Yorkie Yakker | Hi there! Thank you for teh reply, Prestons coat is just coming into near full length so it is definately something we will be looking at. Preston is very placid and loves other dogs, so hopefully he will be fine. We have another pen ready for when the little lady comes home. Unfortunately we can't get her any later as the breeder is on break. Preston was 12 weeks when we got him, a much more prefered age but we have the hours to work with her. Once again thank you
