What a cutie! Please do give it more time, as everyone else has said. It definitely takes a lot longer than a day for them to adjust. I bet in no time at all, Peanut will be back to normal AND have a new buddy to play with! Good luck!

i agree that you need to give him more time. one day isn't enough.

she is a real cutie tho and she will learn where to potty. you just need to treat her like the baby that she is and start from the beginning. confine her to an expen with a pee pad when you aren't watching her. she'll learn.

i'm surprised the breeder won't take her back after a day. did you get her from someone on YT?

No some breeder I found.Most good breeders would have taken her back.. but it's ok- she doesn't need to go back..If I do end up selling her I will take a loss to make sure she gets a good home!
Makes me mad too bc she has tapeworms and the breeder said she gave her her shots and stuff.. I already took her to my vet and he said she looks great..I am starting over on her shots..bc I do not trust the breeder!

What a horrible breeder! So glad you rescued this baby from her. We just brought home a rescue pup on Friday and what I did to make sure Barley is loving of her is we overly baby him too. Not too much though but enough so he knows he's still loved very much and no one is ever taking his place. I sit on the floor with them and play with them together too. Barley loves to play tug of war with his toys, so I'd play with him then give baby Bijou an end and we'd all play tug. It help my guys a lot and is worth a try. remember to always let him be first and it will help him be secure in his relationship with you and maybe become friends with the new doll baby! She is sooo sweet.

Sorry, your DH is upset. Did you do it without talking to him first? Mine wasn't thrilled either, but I told him before I got Bijou that I was getting her and he knew I wouldn't change my mind on it so he didn't even try. But my DH would have been p***d if I did it and didn't tell him first, as I would have been if he did it too. (((((((Hugs)))))))) to you for saving her. Please, try and work it out with Peanut and her. She looks like she's already loving whoever is holding her on their lap in that one picture.

I concur with everyone else so far, you have to give it more time. My older ones didn't like the "new" guy either. So far I've got five and it was "hate at first sight", with each new one. Now they are getting along well, it's only been one week since I brought the 2 new boys home, and already I've seen improvements in attitudes. My oldest, Harley, he's eight, has just started to join in games of chase in the last day or so. Scooter is now their "personal trainer", he grabs a stick and takes them for a few laps around the backyard, loving every minute of it! Rita doesn't play with them but she has stopped growling and threathing to eat them for lunch, when they jump on her.

It's great that you've decided to give him more time to adjust. My niece had a girl before she brought the boy yorkie and they did fine. But l guess with the boy yorkie its more of a dominence thing. He will eventually develop a good relationship with her. l would show him he still has your love with and spend more time with him. l'm sure you can divide your attention and it will work itself out.

How do you know she has tapeworms? Did you have her poo tested or see a segment around her anus? Shots don't protect from tapeworms. She has to be given a wormer specifically for tapeworms.

Also, don't have her get shots again if she already had them. Did the breeder give you a record of her shots?

The fact that she was sold to you "limited" means she cannot be bred - but you can still sell her to someone. However, after one day I would give it much more time. Why are you willing to take a $600 loss after one day? I'm just curious. I wish you the best of luck.

i feel bad that you got trapped into spending so much money on a dog with tapeworms, mattes, and pee all over her, did you not get to go check out the dog before you put money on her? i'm sure you've just rescued her from a horrible life!!

as for the problem with peanut not getting along with her, i agree to give it more time and to let them adapt and adjust to each other. it takes dogs awhile to learn to adjust their "pack" to include a new member. they will most likely become good friends due to them both having to get used to living together and being around each other more often.

after about a month or so, if they still really can't seem to bond and you wanted to sell her, i would definitely make sure you have a spay listed in the purchasing contract. or spay her yourself if you had time to keep her that long. how old is she btw??

also, i can't believe the breeder would charge 1500 for a dog that isn't healthy and perfect for one thing and i also can't believe that person wouldn't take the dog back from you if you decided it wasn't going to work out. a responsible breeder would never let a dog go to a home without allowing the new owner to give the dog back. most breeders who are responsible care so much about the health and well being of the puppy that they would rather take it back than see it sold to another person they haven't checked out themselves. i'm sorry that you didn't seem to get the dog from a responsible breeder, but just give her time so she can adjust to your new life with her and to peanut, because it seems like you have rescued this baby and re homing her twice in such a short time would be a little traumatic for the baby...

good luck and i wish you the best in your new baby and your big decisions! hope it all works out and i really hope they become friends.

I am so frustrated and upset at myself...my dh is upset with me bc i spent 1500 on her..everything is just screwed up right now

isnt she a doll , i had to get her shaved bc she was matted and with pee and in her feet hair..and her peep hair was like 6 inches!! I am so upset at myself..the breeder wouldnt take her back, (some breeder) I probably saved the babies life!

She is so cute! It took Roxie about 2 months to completely come back to herself, I felt so bad. But she got lots of attention- she could sleep with us, and each of them gotta momma love time when we would brush them separately and they both got used to each other. Your new girl just has to find her place in the pack and Peanut will show her. Training is never easy and you know that but you have experience with yorkies and know it is only a matter of time. She is just a baby and all good things come with time. I wouldnt be rash just see what time brings!

[lovespandp]

Well...Lets see where can I start things got worse.
The baby starting attacking peanut..peanut attacked her.. I put them in different rooms and peanut would just bark and bark then he started to chew up things!! and that is not peanut..He isn't eating..he is acting tottaly distant from me..I can't take this. I know in my heart that it is not going to work I can see that, my dh can see that..it's not fair for peanut or the new baby.

I sold her yesterday with a no breeding contract. She has a new home with a Mommy and Daddy, I can tell that these people will love her and spoil her, she emailed me this morning here is her email.

(Thank you very much for the encouraging words, i truely appreciate it. We had a great night! She slept the whole way home and also slept through the night. She is using the wee wee pads and has not had an accident yet. I think she is a great fit for our small family. Speaking of "fit" she didn't fit in anything I bought her lol I am going to have to return them because she is smaller than I anticipated. Everthing else is going great so far. I was going to ask you about the harness you showed me last night, I forgot what it was called. )

Tiffany said that she will keep in contact with me and send me pictures.. I feel horribe about this!! I think of it as I saved her from that breeder either way at least she didn't have to go back to the breeder and be sold again for 1500!! Live with knotts and pee all in her hair! I lost alot of money, but MONEY COMES AND GOES, at least I feel I did the right thing and found her a great home.

I wish I could have tried longer..maybe I dont have the patinece for it, maybe I am too conserned with Peanut. I have had him for 2 years and when I see him that stressed and not eating I feel like I have to do what is best for him. I know a lot of you would have tried longer and a lot of you wanted me to try but I just couldn't.

My DH isn't mad at me...he knew that I wanted a puppy he wasn't mad about that he was mad about how much I spent on her. He isn't mad at me anymore..he is over the whole money thing.

So that is the end of this story.. Things that I have learned
--Peanut is the kind of dog that likes to be the ONLY dog.
--Research the breeder
--Tell DH you are buying a 1500 yorkie before you buy her
--Just bc I want a girl yorkie, doesnt mean that it is going to work out for the rest of my family.

Now I have to start to get Peanut back to being Peanut..He is laying in his bed at work with me right now...I can tell he is still stressed but he is doing better..

I hope you guys don't chew me a new a$$hole for this. I had to do what was right. Anyways that's the end of that!

Well - wishing her all the best - I was going to post that my oldest Chanel who is my heart was jealous for 2 freakin months when we got Cheri...She would pout - not kiss me - you name it.

My way around it was to hold them both on either side while giving them equal attention - and MORE attention to my oldest than the puppy and eventually they became the best of buddies. Alot of it had to do with Cheri growing up a little and Chanel finally realized it was fun to have a sister in the house.

If you don't believe me about how much they love each other - check out my album - they kiss each other ALL the time. It's hilarous. They're known in my apartment complex as the 2 cute little gay girls lol

I think maybe this could have worked..yeah peanut would get over it..but would he be as happy as he is alone? I don't think so. I also think it is me more than him. I think I just want to give all my attention to him and I dont to share it .

[BonBon]

I firmly believe that you know Peanut and what's best for him better than anyone else, as is the case of most mothers. You wanted your boy to be happy, but you weren't irresponsible about the new baby - you found a wonderful home for her. Whether you handled it differently than others would have doesn't matter. You did what you felt was right for you and your family. Now, go give Peanut lots of lovins and he'll be back to his cute self in no time!

Thank you very much!! Just to see how excited he was when he found out he was going to work with me today..made my day start out great! Plus Dh called me just to tell me he loves me and have a great day!! That helped too. knowing I found her a great home where she will be spoiled and loved..is worth loosing $1000 to me
