I have a new baby!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

AMD · 11-29-2007, 08:44 AM

Well not really...Our neighbor found him when he ran in front of the school bus this morning. She had to leave so I get to take care of her for the morning!!!

He looks like a shih tzu to me..He needs some grooming, but I stuck a clip in his hair, so you can at least see his face!

He's very well behaved..I've kept him on a leash the whole time and now he's just laying on the floor beside me.

I also have a question...

He's a male, and our lab (rascal, she) is very passive. They've already gone at each other to decide dominence, but now Rascal won't even come near him now. lol How do I introduce them to each other, so they get along??

And the pics..

He is very cute!!

Gypsy & Me · 11-29-2007, 08:47 AM

Oh oh oh! He's a cutie!!!!

Are you gonna keep him if him and Rascal can get on???

I've never had a problem with my dogs not getting on with parents so I don't know how to introduce them. I remember when we got Bonnie (RetrieverX) though and we had Emma (Border Collie) and my Dad introduced them in the garden... they had a little scamp and then were fine after that... I think all dogs need to establish whose top dog.

He's cute, I'll leave the introduction question to someone more knowledgable than me.

yes, I know all dogs have to establish who's the top guy, but at this point Rascal doesn't even want to come close!! LOL we were sitting on the couch, and this little guy was on the floor, and rascal wanted to get by, so she walked on top of the couch!! LOL She doesn't know how to get along with other dogs..

I don't know if we'll keep him..I hope the original owners get him since he's their baby.

AMD · 11-29-2007, 08:57 AM

oh yeah...we've started calling him Max!

He has a collar, but no tags!

Hehehe, Rascal must be scared of the little dog!

Bless her!

I bet she'll come round soon and curiosity will get the better of her!

She is scared of him, but they'll have to warm up sooner or later..

Rascal has gained enough confidence to bark at him...I haven't let him bark back because then she goes and hides. He doesn't really seem to mind being barked at..I gave him Rascal's Kong and he played with it, until Rascal came and barked, then snatched it, and ran with it! LOL

Tiggerwit · 11-29-2007, 09:30 AM

That could be..Now that you say it, he does look like he could have a mix of lhasa.

Yorkiekids · 11-29-2007, 09:35 AM

He is a cutie. I hope you can give him a forever home if his parents can't be found.

Awwww

what a cutie pie!!!! Sooo SWEET!!!

Have you seen if anyone was missing him? I bet he hasn't been "lost" very long...he still looks good!

I have never had a problem with introducing animals to each other.....we have had the rescues brought in and course, I always make sure they are clean and clear of any pests, diseases, etc before allowing them in the house or around Mojo.

The first one we got was Sophie.....she went straight to the vet, was spayed and tested for everything, etc. She had been abused (severely) and was very submissive....her and Mojo got along sooo great! Still do.

Luke was next.......he was huge 100lbs, still intact and kept in a cage his first two years of life. We brought him out here to run free. He was very protective and didn't like Mojo at first. He went to get nuetered and checked, etc....and now, he is the big baby of the bunch...wouldn't hurt a fly and loves all the dogs.

Rusty was after Luke....he was checked out, but not neutered yet (as he was our neighbors and we just didn't know what to think of that situation). Anyway, we are still working with him on commands, etc. BUT he is a good dog. He has spurts of growling at the other dogs, etc. But he is quickly reminded who is in charge......ie...NOT him!

Lily came next and it was as if she had always been here. I mean, it was like she had acutally spent her first two years of life in this house with all of us and the dogs.

So....with us...the introductions have all been easy. I think the key is to always be there....we were lucky enough to be an "at home" family, so we were always with the dogs.

Good luck! What a cute little guy he is!!!

Well that's a start that she barked and reclaimed her toy!

I posted a FOUND ad on craigslist, and we'll post some signs around the neighborhood today. Like I said, he's very well behaved, and listens to what you say. (besides I don't know his name).

Rascal was NOT socialized or around dogs, besides her mom, as a pup, so she has no idea how to deal with another dog.
