We have a 3 1/2lb Yorkie and an 80lb Boxer and Georgie (Yorkie) tears Coco up LOL! He has renewed Coco and she plays now more than ever (she is almost 7).My brother has 2 labs and a Yorkie and they get along great

I would just watch them initially to make sure the lab doesn't get excited and pounce around, but for the most part I think they are a great combination. Here is a pic of my niece with our 2 furbabies

i am actually concerned about the same thing, i have an english pointer, she's full of energy and very very active, i'm getting a maltese soon and was a little concerned how they would get along.

she's played with other little dogs in the past and has been gentle but i'm still a little worried.

maybe she will be scared of the malt? lol

you would be amazed at how the bigger dogs are. I was nervous about Coco but Georgie steals her toys and she just let's him. They play hide and go seek meaning Georgie will hide behind the chair and Coco will squeeze back there to find him and he will run LOL. It's great to watch. Oh and last thing Coco is protective over Georgie when we take walks if she hears another dog she looks for it and watches Georgie to make sure he is okay

Shecass your babies look like my Georgie and Coco when they play Coco gets down on her front legs and gets ready to play with Georgie or chase him

I have a 3.5 month old gsd & a 10 month 4.5 pound yorkie....Max adores Lexie and Lexie loves Max, but I don't ever leave Lexie's site she is always with me or close for me to get. Max would not hurt on purpose(bite) but Lexie loves to chase Max and that gets him going so he starts to chase back and being a puppy he doesn't realize Lexie could get hurt (she doesn't either/she thinks she is the big dog) Max is also very protective of Lexie and Peanut, he loves them dearly but till he learns how big he really is and gets out of the awkward puppy phase Mom has to be right there...

Here they are giving kisses....

don't most little dogs think they are bigger than they actially are?

i know a chiahua (sp?) and he acts so tough and cute, i told his owner he is definately a large dog trapped in a little dogs body.

he's kind of muscly for a chi and he struts around the house like a king lol he's adorable

Thanks and that is so cute how Coco is protective of Georgie, i know anassa wouldn't intentionaly hurt a smaller and she has played with a jack russel and a maltese cross in the past with no problems at all.

i guess it just seems scary, a huge dog and a tiny dog playing together

We have a 80 pound golden retiever Amy and our two lil yorkies

I have a yorkie that is 4 lb ..I also have a Mastiff Great Dane he is 170 lb .. Max was 2yrs old when I introduced him to my yorkie ..I watched that dog like a hawk ..I was really worried for the first 2 weeks ..They are Best Friends .. I will have to take a couple of pics of Maggie and Max ..They do look pretty funny together ...
Now the only one that gets hurt is me because I have 170lbs on my lap ...

We have 2 yorkies and my in-laws have a yellow lab and they all LOVE to play together! The labrador is surprisingly SO gentle with them! It is so hilarious. My hubby and I plan on getting a labrador in the future, so it is good to see how well all these big dogs get along with all these little dogs.

Shanatink · 07-12-2006, 07:16 AM

I got a 88lb boxer and a 2.8 lb yorkie and they get along beautifully!!! They love each other and play with each other all the time. My boxer loves chloe so much and you can tell she even looks out for her little sister.
You would really be surprised how well big dog's know thier size and strength. LIke Penny (my boxer) will play tug-o-war with chloe and she knows she can barely tug on it since chloe is so tiny.

You should see my dog's blogs at myspace (link is in my signature) and you will see how well big dogs and little dogs get along.

Shanatink - That's so funny. We were on a canoe trip this weekend, and there were some people with a boxer named Penny. I heard them call her into their canoe, and I loved it as our Yorkie's name is Penny. Made me wish we had our baby with us!

Their Penny had the same coloring as your girl.

I love that your yorkie's tail hasn't been docked. I almost didn't dock Mollie's babies tails but, I went with the norm.

But gee whiz they sure are a cute pair ... Good luck
