Question about sibling for a tiny? Ok so we have decided that now that Ninna is not part of our home full time (only on weekends when my mom brings her over) perhaps we need to start thinking of a permanent sibling for Tiffy. To what degree should I be concerned with the size of the sibling? Tiffy is 2.2 and I am very afraid of another fur-baby coming in and injuring her. Any advise would be helpful :) |
I dont know if this helps but I have an 8lber boy and a 5lber boy (really should only be about 4.5lbs - hes a bit of a chub haha) and they play great together. Its like my big guy knows to be more gentle with his brother. Im always surprised that my little guy weighs 5lbs... hes just sooooo tiny! |
Maria, I did not realize about this new arrangement . .when did this happen? I must have missed a thread (send me the link). As far as size, the only way you can guarantee if you want a tiny like Tiff would be to get one that is full grown . . . now getting along, I have no clue but am sure a few hundreds will give great advise as always. :thumbup: |
I have a 2.2 lbs and a 14 lb. Dakota every now and then will squeal, but then she gets right back up to play. I don't think size matters. My opinion. |

I don't think there will be enough difference in their size to make a difference. Usually the older dog for some reason understands it has to be gentle with the littler one. |
I have a eight pound boy kaycee and his daughter weighs 4 pounds ,when she was a baby her let her hang from his ears and believe me she is a fast little booger,she always steals toys from nikkie my puppy mill yorkie who is nine pounds,believe me they can hold there on. |

Honestly I have no preference, but if size is not a safety issue I would rather get a larger yorkie.. just want to make sure I do the right thing. |
I think she will be fine with any size yorkie. There is a 5 lb difference with my two and I have never had any incidents |
Lola is 8 pounds and My sister's chi Lily is 2.5 pounds full grown. They play together great and Lily hasn't been hurt yet. The chi is more agressive lol always trying to hang from Lola's facial hair... It just funny because you would think that the bigger one would be the bully lol. I think your little girl will love having a sibling and she'll probably be the boss lol. |

I have a 6 1/2 lb boy, a 3 lb girl and a 4 1/2 lb girl. Not to mention a little over a 100 lb Golden Retriever who plays with them all. No problems with any of them. Once in a while Rascal (our boy) gets a little rough and make one whimper.. but if they do he quickly stops. ;) Our Golden plays soooooooo gentle with all of them.. shes so sweet! :) |
I think she will be ok with any size yorkie, they are all pretty small, even the teapots. |
Size doesn't seem to matter in our home!!! We find the bigger ones give the tiny ones whatever they want,lol. I think as long as you watch them initially and make sure they learn to play nice it should be fine getting any size brother or sister. |
I agree with ^^^^^^^ :p |
