New and need help.... Hi- I'm new to this site. Need to find a forever home for a 5 year old neutered male. He is excellent with children and adults, rides well, eats well and doesn't bark much at all. I am a psychologist and have taken on this little guy after the sudden death of his owner. I have a dog of my own, much bigger than this 4 pounder and am very concerned about the size difference. I have posted in the "re-homing" section but figured I might mention something here as well. Looking for any advice as I've never had to do this type of thing before. Thank you!!! |
Hi there. I have two 14 week yorkie pups and two adult staffordshires. They weigh about 20kilos. The main thing is not to leave the alone together until they are comfortable together. A crate is a good way to keep the yorkie safe when you are out. My dogs know instinctively to be careful around the pups and generally look down before jumping off the furniture to make sure the way is clear. Don't be too concerned about a growl or bark this is how the dogs communicate their status etc. The main stress times at first are around food, feed them separately at first. Also excitement when getting ready to go out and the little one can get under foot. I put the pups in the crate until we are ready to go out the door. Don't be surprised if you fall for this little one and keep him once your dog accepts the new arrival. Bug digs and little ones can be best friends. |
Our son had a beautiful boxer girl who was around my little ones all the time she was wonderful with them. Treated them like her babies I think you will be ok. If you do decide to give him up there are some wonderful rescues who could work with you on it. |
