Breeds of dogs that get along w/ Yorkies? My son & daughter are both planning on moving out on their own in January. They both want to get a dog but are concerned that the new dog must get along with our 2 yorkies. (They are such good kids);) I am glad they both asked me this, since you never know they could move back home with their new family member.:rolleyes: What breeds of dogs do others have here on YT? |
Maybe a Maltese? |
Tell them to get yorkies! lol actually, I have a poodle mix and they get along fine |
I would get a Cocker Spaniel or smaller sized dog, just so they can play. My dog is a Cocker Spaniel and I grew up with him, so I've got a soft spot for those little guys. Adopting a mixed breed is always a good plan too! |
As long as your yorkies aren't mean, any pup should get along with them. I have a shih tzu, used to have a maltese, a yorkie and 2 biewers, and they all get along. |
3 Attachment(s) Boxers are fantastic dogs. Several people here at YT have them. Here are a few pics of Boo the Boxer and our yorkies.... |
Mine are so small, 5 & 3.5 lbs. Bailey is a bit afraid of bigger dogs & Angel just wants to play. They are both very sweet, not aggressive at all. My son is 6'4" & is in construction & an EMT. I told him to think about a poodle & he said he would never live that down. He was thinking about something not to hyper & midsize. My daughter wants a great dane...I told her she could not afford to feed it.:rolleyes: |
1 Attachment(s) I have a daschund and he gets along great with Triss! Heres a pic. :) I think the flash was a little bright, they are both squinting. |
If your son is looking for a less "fru-fru" type dog, whippets are nice dogs. They have very sweet temperments, aren't usually very hyper, and would not be too large to safely play with your yorkies. |
I think Maltese & chihuahua's are the Most popular with Yorkie owners When they want another breed Besides yorkies. |
I don't think there is a specific breed that would get along with any specific dog... each dog is different and it depends mostly on the personality. |
Boston Terrier would be super for your son :) They are small enough to be good with the yorkies, have a great personality and are not "fru fru" dogs.. we have had Boston's all my life and they are great pets! as for a great dane, I wouldnt want to feed or clean up after one... lol I have a yellow lab, she is 95 lbs. and is fantastic with my babies. She is truly the best behaved dog we have(of 4) or have ever had. How nice of your children to ask you about a breed for them! good luck d |
Pugs, Papillons, Shih-tzu, Chihuahua, Toy Poodle, Maltese, Min Pin should do well with a Yorkie. |
I recently bought a shih-tzu and my yorkie loves her. They play chase and take naps together. They a so cute! |
I have a Papillion and my Yorkie. They do well together. They're both the same size too. I also recommend a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Cocker Spaniel, Cockapoo,Yorkiepoo,Boston Terrier,Dachshund,Westie,Min. Australian Shepherd,Beagles and Shelties too. Good-Luck in your search!!:D |
