Senior Yorkie Talker | What other breeds get along best with yorkies.. I'm looking to get a second puppy soon. I've been searching for good reputable breeders but I can't seem to come across any honest yorkie breeders. However I've come across shih tzu maltese and bichon babies that are beautiful and coming from fantastic breeders. My question is does anyone have a yorkie and one of these breeds how do they get along or any other tips.

I have a 9 month old Yorkie mix, and I just got a Shih Tzu. They are getting along great already. My Yorkie wants to play a lot more that the Shih Tzu, but he is still a baby. I like that although he will be bigger, he will still be small enough to play with Lexi who is only 5 pounds. | |

| My friend's Shih Tzu and my golden girl, Mia, are inseparable when they are together. They love to play together.

Senior Yorkie Talker | I see a lot of shih tzu breeders in my area. I've also seen some that are being rehomed which I prefer and they are just so dang cute . Your babies are adorable

| Honestly I would have to say that it would depend on the personality of your yorkie and the other dog. The sex of the dogs could make a difference too. How old is your current dog? Is yours a male or female? Have they been altered? There are many things to consider so there is not a simple answer.

| Thank you. Your Honey sounds like a real sweetheart. Are you looking for a young pup or one closer to Honey's age? If you went with a bit older pup you would be able to tell more about their personality. Perhaps a rescue would be a good option. Just take your time searching and hopefully you will know when you have found the perfect match for Honey. My daughter has a little yorkie plus two big dogs and a chihuahua and they all get along great.

Oh and it doesn't matter if I get a puppy or an older pup just as long as she is honey approved . I took her to a breeders home in pa she was growling (which she rarely does) we get inside there is puppies all crated up and dirty. Needless to say we didn't get a pup

| I think most breeders would not allow someone to bring a strange dog to their home or kennel. Keep in mind that some dogs, when they are not raised around other dogs, get very jealous and are protective of their owner and they don't bond with other dogs. Yorkies have a wide range of personalities. Some of very active, some are couch potatoes, some love other dogs and people and some don't. I have had yorkies that would get along great in the beginning and they later started fighting when they get jealous or try to establish dominance.

My apologies...my tablet keeps eating what I write...LOL. BlackBerry rocks, though... Thank you for the kind words about my babies.*** They all had previous homes but are the loves of my life now. I do think it depends greatly on the dogs and not necessarily the breeds.* Some are great together and some just do not like each other. Shih Tzu seem to have a very happy personality. Grooming needs are different if you grow out the Shih Tzu coat vs the long Yorkie coat.* it takes me twice as long for the Shih Tzu coat although I may just be not the greatest at it.* LOL If you can give a little lost soul a new home...wonderful. if you find a great breeder...super. some may have older pups or young adults, too...also great. all my Yorkie babies were at least 14 months old when they came to live with me. Honey Bun sounds absolutely precious, and I just know you will find the baby that wants to be yours.
