| Morkie hates our new puppy and my wife now. We have a 4yr old Maltipoo ( male ), 2 yr old Morkie (female ) and just got a Shihpom puppy ( female ). The Maltipoo had no problem warming up to the puppy and loves to play with her but our Morkie want's nothing to do with her and is acting very sad and jealous. It's so bad that she wont even lay on the couch with my now and they were inseperable before. Will this get better over time if we just show our Morkie lots of love and let her know shes still number one to us???? |

| I think this is pretty common, soon she will accept the situation, so just give her some time. Try not to stress. |

| How lomg have you had the new baby? Be sure and spend extra "quality" time with your morkie. He will get batter. It doesn't take long. Right now he is just hoping it will go away. But he will be better with lots of love and understanding. Also welcome to Yorkie Talk, fellow Californian

| Try making a big fuss over the older dogs, so they don't feel slighted.

| Is the Morkie usually the dominant dog? I have found that usually the leader of the 'pack' is the last to come around and accept the new members. I had the same problem recently w/ my oldest female when we introduced a new dog. She wouldn't even be in the same room as the new dog! She came around in about a week. I would suggest just make sure she knows YOU are the boss, be consistant and give her time. Welcome to YT, BTW. |

| When Sammy came here she barely moved from my husband's lap for a week. Then she was just like, "I guess this place is OK" for another week. After 2 weeks she acted like she'd lived here forever. It takes a little time :-) Give them all individual attention and try to encourage them to be in the same room (treat help) but don't push it.

| IDK if this is true (but i think i read it in a yorkie book ) but i read to make sure you actually pay EXTRA attention to the older pup...they said the younger pups are actually used to sharing attention with the littermates and will not notice if they are being "slighted" a little bit this way the older pups know they are not being "replaced" by the little youngin and will warm up a little easier (and hopefully faster) ... good luck and congrats on the new baby! edited: well, exactly what "yorkiekids" said sorry, i should have read the replies better before i replied! hehe

| Most of my life has been spent with male dogs. Over the last 15 years, I have had two females. Both of the girls were real, well ... *bitches* when it came to young children or animals . They had no tolerance whatsoever. Da BOYS, however, have always been patient with young'uns of all species. My daughter is staying with us for a while, and she has a 90# pit ... he's the sweetest thing in the world when playing with the pup, up to allowing the pup to swing from his cheeks (which I stop as soon as I see it). When he's had enough, he hops up on a bed or some place out of reach. When he's asleep on his bed and the pup comes carousing in, he grumbles and makes all kinds of noises - but when the pup leaves, Nitro's head pops up and he looks around as if to say: HEY! Where'd da kid go??? In my experience, males (all of mine have been neutered) are far more accepting of puppies than females. The girls eventually "come around", or at least learn to tolerate a new family member, but the boys accept them on sight. Your girl will more than likely come around. I've had the pup for a month now, and Katie has finally stopped snarling at him every time he comes within 4 feet of her. She still doesn't like him, but she has conceded that he can breathe the same air she does |

| a new puppy... I have a three yr old maltese and 7month old morkie. When I brought my morkie home my maltese was very unhappy!!!! He disliked him very much and didn't want to be around him at all. He is just now starting to come around and play with him. I honestly think that it takes time! Just make sure you pay a lot of attention to your morkie and I think they will be fine in time Good Luck! |
