| It sounds like they are just playing. Some play a little rougher I would think as long as the girl is not yelping it is just play. Also you did say she was older and laid back and he is full of puppy. Hopefully others with multiple yorkie homes will answer as well.

| I asked my girl and Soph said yes, little brothers are a pain in the neck. If he gets too rough she'll put him in his place. |

| I have 3 with 3 different personalities. The 7 month old picks on both the 10 yr old and 7 yr old. I have to break them up and keep an eye on the bully baby . She is playing but hurts when she bites them and they yelp. I am hoping they work it out as it is getting better as she gets older. I would just keep an eye and tell them don't bite!

| I have 4 Yorkies 2 females ages 2 1/2 and 1 year old, 2 males ages 2 1/2 and 2 years old. My oldest 3 always played well together, then I brought in my female Sassy, she has bullied all 3, she is the youngest and the smallest at 6 lbs. She bites at the other female all the time to where Tessie doesn't like to play with the boys anymore. She likes to drag my smallest male (9lbs) across the floor to play with her. She is very dominating, have not found out how to keep her from doing this. She is also very possessive of me. I think your dogs are playing and don't seem to be hurting each other. All of mine are spayed/neutered.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Sounds like mine when they are playing. Sometimes Pixie and Roxie get a little rough with Cali but she goes back for more when I stop them.

YT Addict | Mine are always on the move. Abby 7 mos. and Riley 6 mos.. Most often it is Abby that starts but recently Riley has been the troublemaker. All day long it goes on until they tire out and nap together lovingly. If it wasn't for their closeness at nap time I would swear they hated each other. lol |

| Lucy my youngest pulls the bows out of the others hair and will also play bite there ankles. Cozy will flip her over a discipline her when she goes to far. Cozy will discipline them all. Once a mom always a mom.
