There is a 7 lb difference in mine and they do okay together but I dont know what the fragileness is of a 3 lber |
Mina's brothers and sister weigh 14lbs,10lbs,8lbs,5lbs and 70lbs. They all do well together. I have always tried to introduce new members slowly. I purchase a pac n play or an expen so that everyone can see each other,but cannt touch unless supervised,until everyone gets used to each other. |
Oh ya and the 30lb grand puppy that comes to visit and is like a MOOSE running through my house. She is more apt to take me out at the knees than Mina. |
Mine all do well together and they are all yorkies of different weights. |
Older and younger Yorkie You asked about the older Yorkie getting along with a younger one. I have one that turned 12 on June 24, (about 13-14 pounds) and the younger one is right at 2 years old. She weighs 4-5 pounds. They play together at times but most of the time the older one, Angel, ignore B-Baby, the younger one. I really don't think that you will have any trouble as long as the older one knows that you still love her and spend some time with her, as always. Spend quality time with the baby and you can even try playing with both of them at the same time. If this does not work right off, wait a week or even two and try it again. I honestly have no trouble. Good luck... |
1 Attachment(s) I have a 60lb lab girl named jasmine a 11.5lb 16month old girl yorkie named Lily and a 3lb yorkie boy who is 12 weeks named logan and they all get along great :0) here is a pic of Logan and Jasmine :D little and large yvonne xxx |
My shaffer was a teapot almost 11 pounds my Cooper is about 4, they always got along super, Cooper has some dog friends he is always the smallest but gives the big digs a run for the money, you can see a photo of them in my album together I think it depends on the dogs why not try it see how they like each other in a dog park or neutral place? |
Ours get along great too. I have a tiny one at 4lbs. and our little girl is about 7lbs. She has been on a diet. When they get to playing I just remind Kayla, easy, easy. Play easy with Dudley. Even my 2 schnauzers do great with him. They never bite but may nudge him alittle hard at times and when I tell them to play easy, they do. |
1 Attachment(s) My first was Jersey Boy he is 9lbs and I wanted a second similar size. As life would have it my second Brielle turned out to be 3.5 lbs. I have the best of both worlds:D They are so good together. She can be the beast not him.lol |
Personally, I think it has more to do with the meshing of temperaments more than size. |
1 Attachment(s) 130 pound Difference. it can be done but takes a lot of front end work. Make sure the small one does not beat up on the big one. |
We have four dogs........a bassett Bailey who is 6 and about 35 lbs (very small for a bassett, she has chrons disease) a 12 yo min pin/ig mix who is about 20 lbs, Preston - four yo yorkie 16 1/2 lbs and Paisley a 6 lb yorkie. When we got Pais I was VERY nervous. We brought her home at 1 lb, and she seemed so LITTLE that I was scared to death! She is the ornery one of our pack! She did get hurt once recently when they were all chasing a squirel and got barrel rolled. :(. Most of the time they are all GREAT together and she holds her own very well, but now I make sure she is out of the way when the chase is on for a bunny, bird or squirel. She sure doesn't get out of the way on her own though! |
I have only one dog, so I don't really have anything to add, but you guys sure did post some awfully cute pictures! |
