what other breeds do have with your yorkies

[Poochieheaven]

I have a huge GSD and my little Piper.

Here is how I find them laying frequently.

I would do all I can to at least get the mail service to pay vet bills. That is very very sad.

You can get over your fear too. I am honestly more afraid for my safety when it comes to Sierra lol I only have 25 pounds on her :-) Like I said, Labs are intuitive. If she is recovering now is actually a good time to introduce and start getting them trained. She has no choice but to be gentle!

I have a maltese, he is really gumpy though. I don't know if it's the breed or what, but he growls a ton, especially at people but has never bitten anyone. The good thing is that he's really laid back, does nothing but sleep. Their hair gets really tangled though and bad tear stains.

Any suggestions?

The big dog came first. Riley is 4 years old and an amazing dog, a great big sister to Opi who is 11 months old. At first the transition was a little slow, we did keep them in separate rooms at first..just a gate between them, so Riley would know that this new little intruder was here to stay, get to know her and see that we still loved her too. They get along great, from where she treats Opi like her own baby, to best pals, and some sibling rivalry. I worried about the little one being trampled by her big sister, but she gets under our feet more. Opi has mastered weaving in and out of Riley's running in the house. Opi knows to let Riley go up and down or in and out the doors first..I think it was just instinct! They each have their own space too, to get away from each other when they need..lol They eat in different parts of the kitchen. Of course Opi eats more often than Riley, so Riley gets a treat when she can't actually have a meal. When Opi was finally trained to go outside, we had started taking her out alone, but a few times Riley went out with her and Opi seemed to catch on better to what she had to do out there watching her big sister. Well, Riley seems to think she has fooled us into thinking she needs to go out as often as Opi..she doesn't..she just wants to go out and play! There are times when they like to show each other who's top dog....it's too funny to watch this little 5 lb dog get her big sister down to the floor, then lay there with her. We've had to limit our "rough-housing" with Riley, only because Opi always want to get into the mix, and she can get fierce if she thinks Riley is being mean to any of us.
I buy 2 of everything when they get a new toy or treat..one big, one little and they both want the same one anyway! kind of like when our kids were growing up! lol
There is someone home with them all day, if that's not the case we do crate Opi, she's just too young & small to leave roaming unattended to anyway. I see Riley getting bored being her babysitter anyway. and momma here is not sure she's ready to have the 2 of them have free run through the house together!

It's hard to get a Non-blurry picture with my phone =D So I got them both to lay down in the basement.
One day i'll take a better photo!

Well, first meeting went well.....had bad weather today, high winds and tornados, so I made Harley come in off the deck...and brought her right into kitchen where Shay was.....Harley layed down (was long walk for her) and Shay? jumped into his bed, and pulled covers over his head..lol..and went to sleep...so I guess that was good.....lol...

[Poshible]

Try introducing a game involving both of them. I do not recommend fetch as that could cause a fight. I let mine chase me. I hold a rope and tease them with it and they compete to get to me and the rope. It exercises all of us too :-)

I love the Silver SP's! I love the poodle personalities too, how hard is it to keep them groomed? Same level as a yorkie or a little less maintenance?

And here is Rizzo's housemate, lol

I have a minature schnauzer with my two

Thanks so much for sharing. I could visualize every scenario and got a smile with each one.

We have a yorkie (Harry) and Lab (Tasha). They get along really well, and play a lot together
