| New here I don't currently own a yorkie, but I would like to one day. I do have a few questions...does anyone here have a yorkie and a larger dog, and how do they get along? I would love to have a yorkie, but I am not interested in the teeny tiny ones, I think 7-8 lbs would work much better in my home. And how do I go about finding a good breeder? I would be interested in a male, pet only. I'm not interested in showing or breeding and he would be neutered. I work in the family business and he would go to work with me most days. I have 3 dogs, 2 are 60 lbs and one is 20 lbs. All are gentle. I foster kittens for my shelter and have had kittens as small as a pound running around my house and no incidences yet with the dogs being too rough, so I don't think a 7-9 lb dog would be an issue. I also have 6 cats, and could have a few kittens running around every now and then, since I foster. Everyone here gets along great. I want a male because all of my dogs are females and I believe a male dog would probably fit in a bit better. I'm looking forward to any advice you all have and a point in the right direction. I would love to rescue a yorkie as well, instead of purchasing from a breeder, but I'm not opposed to a good, reputable breeder. |

| Welcome to YT! If you're looking for a breeder, I would check out the YTCA website for recommendations. There are also some good breeders here on YT. There is a for sale forum. You can also attend dog shows to find reputable breeders.

| Well, all of my animals live inside the house, so they would be together all evening when I am there. I don't leave my animals unsupervised together, and 2 of my dogs are crated during the day. But, my dogs are all gentle and get along great with small animals. |

| It sounds like you know your other dogs well and that they are gentle around the little kittens. So I'm sure your dogs will be fine with a yorkie as well. I wouldn't leave them alone together unattended just because accidents could happen, but you've already said you don't leave them out unattended when you aren't there. I'm sure you'll make a great yorkie parent!

| I have a 75 lb. bulldog and a 3 lb. yorkie along with a 100 lb. lab all males and they get along great. This last weekend I just a 3 lb. female yorkie and everyone gets along great. I think you'll be fine since it sounds like they get along with your kittens, etc. |
