Just because a dog is big doesn't automatically mean it will harm your puppy. I have a 2 year old 75 lb. Basset Hound and my Yorkie was 3 lbs. and 12 weeks when I brought him home. Of course we watched them play closely at first and didn't leave them alone together, but now the Yorkie is 5 lbs. and he actually hurts the Basset Hound sometimes when they play! It's like the Basset Hound knows that the Yorkie is fragile because he never bites him they just mostly wrestle around. The Yorkie has never been hurt by him. Most of the time they just sleep together. I don't worry about the Yorkie being hurt by the Basset at all. |
