what can i DO? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

IMO this had been going on since you found out the pup would be bigger than you thought.
IMO you are just trying to justify why you want to get rid of him.
I have already stated i think you should rehome him to someone who will love him regardless and i stand by that!

dogs live in a pack situation...it is to early to tell if they get along or not. But even if they don't they can learn to live together. dogs live in packs. I just got a new puppy and believe me my older yorkie is not exactly happy about it. Both want moms attention all the time and it can be exhausting. My older yorkie growled and snipped at the puppy for about two weeks before the settled down. But the puppy was in the learning stages...he was jumping all over the older dog and in his face twenty four seven. So my older dog was saying "hey get the heck out of my face" the puppy has to learn to leave the other dog alone sometimes. The play chase and my older dogs sounds like he is gonna kill him with all the barking and growling over a ball but he has not put a scratch on him yet. I think he is just very vocal. It sounds like your hubby does not have the patience to deal with a second dog. Maybe you all should just be a one dog household. I would give it more time for adjustment. It has been a month in my house and they are not best buds but the older dog is tolerating the little one.

A little confused. I went through some of your older posts, so I think I understand??? The 'big guy' is your latest addition, right? And you've been having problems with his aggression for quite a while?

If he's the newest one, and if the other two are getting along and have made a home with you then maybe you would be correct in finding him a home where he could be top dog, and not have to compete with other doggies . . . We had a dog who was like that; actually we found her wandering around the park. Took her home, put fliers up, and tried to find her owners. To no avail; we were going to just let her stay (even took her to the vet and got her shots since we weren't sure if she'd been vaccinated) , but she was too aggressive with the other animals. She was very sweet with humans, but was not at all socialized with other dogs -- finally my husband found someone at work who didn't have any other animals and wanted a dog and could provide a good home for her.

Hope this helps

If I recall right---she had the 4 yr old, bought another--found out he was gonna be a big boy, bought the new pup--(a smaller one)...and now trying to justify to her self about getting rid of the big pup.

When I am sure the big pup wants attention, when she has been holdin the new pup all week and not giving the big pup attention...

No, big pup was there first, then the baby pup. Big pup is too rough with the newest family member. Clear as mud, huh?

Athina · 03-23-2006, 10:38 AM

She has an "older yorkie" which was the first one, then the "Big" guy wich was the second one and then this new little one that she bought for the size.

I think this is absolutely revolting and that's why i haven't been posting on any of her threads.
No matter how you put it we all know why your getting rid of the "Big" guy and it's just plain wrong. I would actually like to know what the "Big" guy's real name is (if you've even cared to give him one).
I would take that poor baby in a second if I lived at all close to you.

I think that is exactly the problem. Big pup's jealous and who wouldn't be. I think the suggestions and advice have from the gamic....if you don't want Big pup, please find him a forever home. He deserves that much. He's a baby too and doesn't understand why he's no longer #1.

Tashasmom · 03-23-2006, 10:41 AM

Ok now i understand. So basically she just doesn't want the one because he isn't what she wanted so now she is getting rid of him but trying to get sympathy in the process? Do i have it right or should i just remain minding my own business lol..

Rem&Silkmom · 03-23-2006, 10:41 AM

I'm lost so she has 2 or 3 dogs?
