Help with Yorkies getting along - YorkieTalk.com Forums

This forum was so much help when I recently lost my 4 year old female yorkie that I had to post another thread. My 4 year old male missed my deceased little girl almost as much as I did and still do. I was fortunate to have found, thanks to friends of mine, another 3 year old female yorkie who I just got and already has brought joy to my life. The problem is that my male and this new female are not getting along. Any suggestions or ideas to help.

When you say there not getting along how bad is it...I mean does he want to rip her limbs off.... or does he give her the evil eye when she enters a room...does he growl at the site of her..just asking to get a fell as to how bad is it

Give it sometime, they all have different personalities. Misha still growls at Max & we have had him for 3 months now. She just needs more attention from me now, because I've been giving to much to him, since he's the baby.
Wait till they both here a noise, they'll be running side by side to protect.
Before you know it, they'll love eachother. I even caught them sleeping in the same bed the other day.

They try to bite one another but we pull them apart before that happens. I guess I am afraid someone is going to end up with a hole in their ear.

I was having that problem with my 2 girls there some months ago. They were really going for it and I done what you were doing by puling them apart right away. I released by doing this they were getting worse. So 1 day ,I no this sounds cruel, I ignored them, well they stopped almost right away when they released I was ignoring them. After this they havent fought again, I think they were just trying to sort out the domiance thing.
