Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | What should I do? I just got a new [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]yorkie [COLOR=green! important]puppy[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] (male) 9 weeks today and he is timid and cute as ever. I can tell he wants to play with my 1 year 4month old yorkie (female) but she just gnarls and barks at him while he does his best to hide away and whimpers. The first time she did that, she just let go some barks and I didn't try to intervene. But the second time she started getting rough and very mean so I intervened and separated them. He doesn't retaliate at all, just tries to hide and stay away. I don't know why she feels like she has to bark and gnarl at the new puppy, my husband thinks she may be territorial. Any tips on this would be greatly appreciated. I know they would love to be future playmates, I just hope it doesn't turn disastrous. - Before introducing them, I made sure to give my girl yorkie all the attention first, and attended to her. Should I try to let them spend more time together, or should I wait till the puppy gets older first before I let them play together. __________________

| Congrats on your new little one. Is your girl's barking mean like or friendly-wanting to play barking? She could just be showing your little one who is the alpha. Your little one will have to either learn his place or establish himself with your female. Given that he's a baby yet, I would keep an eye on them just in case but I think that your little girl is just testing the waters and wants to make sure that he knows she's the queen of the castle. Before you know it, they will be best of buds.
