Getting a new puppy!
My boss's yorkie had puppies and we are getting one!!! We have a large dog (Grady) already. We got him when he was two and he is almost 4 now. He was raised with a little yorkie before we got him and they were best friends. Our friends have small dogs and he reacts well with them too. I am not really worried about Grady. The thing I am most scared about is that Grady is so well behaved. He never barks, never tries to escape, etc. Even though he is so big he is very gentle. I am worried that we will get this puppy and it will turn into a nightmare. I have always had a large dog and have associated little digs with biting and yapping. I know that is not true for all of them, but I am starting to panic a little.
We do have two kids 6 and 9. I enrolled the puppy in Puppy Kindergarten already. I just wanted to get some tips, advice and knowledge from other Yorkie owners who possibly have children. My girls are very good with small animals and of course we would never leave the puppy alone with the youngest daughter.
We are taking the puppy on a trial basis because the well being of Grady and the new puppy are very important to me. My heart would break if Grady did not like having to share attention. I feel like I did when my second daughter was about to be born and my oldest would not get 100% of the attention anymore! lol
Thanks in advance!
