how big is to big so the puppy i might be getting is going to be 15-20 pounds and gatsby is 5 1/2. im worried that that might be to big i know some of you have big yorkies and some have small and some have both, i really believe in rescueing dogs and i cant justify buying another yorkie when this dog needs me she is a chi sheltie mix and cute as a button her mom was ten pounds and dad was 23 pounds si im hoping for 13 or 14 but expecting 20. dose enyone have dogs of this size ?do they play together okay? is it safe? |
I have five yorkies weights and ages vary. 8 yrs is 14.2 lbs, 6 yr old is 6 lbs. 1 /12 yr old is 6 lbs 6 month old is 4 lbs, and 5 1/2 month old is 3 lbs. They all play well together, but I do have to watch the biggest one with the smallest one. Harley doesn't realize how much bigger he is than the 3 lb guy. If he steps on Peanut's paw, Peanut will cry out. |
Being the breed mix i'd say you will be fine Both have great temperment's. If it were a BoxerX JrtX Yorkie lol I would say no. |
That is definitely an interesting mix! :D They should be fine! Do you have any pictures?? :) |

i have a german shephard at my parents house...and I take my lil yorkie over there alllllllll the time...they LOVE each other..and my german shep. knows how fragile she is...he's sooooo soft and gently around her...and he's a big dude...but he knows!!! haha |
OK I think they will be fine together....I have all different sizes and all get along great! |
thanks soo much they just called and asked if i wanted to come and get her early because her mom has stoped feeding and cleaning she is pottying on papers and she is eating hard food she is only five weeks old witch is of course to young but i might go get her because at this point what are they going to do i cant they said mom has been ignoring them for almost a week now |
I would not pick her up just yet. They learn a lot in the first few weeks of their life from their mommy. As far as big and small dogs, you just have to make sure you train her to be mindful of your smaller pup. At a younger age they might hurt your little one on accident.When we had a bigger dog we trained him to lay down when they played so he would not step on our smaller one. So as long as you keep on eye on them they should be great friends. :) |
I'm sure they will do fine, alot of supervision and they will grow with each other. My mom has a 7 lbs yorkie and an around 85 lb boxer. and they do fine together. |
5 weeks is way too young to bring her home. I have a 4 1/2 week kitten and it doesnt even have teeth yet. Plus they learn important socialization from the mother |
