My 5 yr old yorkie not accepting our new puppy. Senior Yorkie Health Problems – Common Health Problems Facing Senior Dogs. By John Hinkley. Like all animals, as dogs age they tend to develop health problems unique to senior yorkies. Many dog owners have a difficult time accepting this fact and think that their lively pooch is not an older dog and will not have health problems. Hi guys, I haven't been online for a long time , but need some help. Some advice would be great. Our 10 year old Yorkie died recently, and two weeks ago we bought a yorkie bitch, she is now 9 weeks old we have called her Darcy, Willis (my 5 year old yorkie) has been ignoring her since she arrived, he has been a bit snarly if she gets too close, or goes near him when he has his bone, We have an alpha female, 2 year old lab and want to introduce her to a new female puppy, 6 month old shepherd. We are not sure they will get along and would like some advise; we are told the puppy is very sweet and not aggressive but my 2 year old is very possessive with me and my husband but when we brought her home to our older lab (10 year. The new puppy is a so-called “Morkie,” one of the “designer” mixed-breeds that are trendy these days. Pretty much universally, these puppies come from pet stores or are sold over the Internet, which means that returning them is not, and should not be, an option.

I’ve recently added a 12 week old stray To my family. She’s been with us for 4 or 5 weeks. My boyfriend has a 2 yr old cat in the home as well. I have an 6 yr old 85 pound dog and we’ve been together since he was 6 weeks old. Usually he LOVES cats. Hes cuddly and play sooo carefully with every other cat he’s ever met. Very sadly we lost both of our Yorkies last month (they were 14 and 13 years old)We just got a new male yorkie puppy of 10 weeks old with a huge attitude. The German Shepard (female) are very good with him and very patient but the Buvier (male) does not want anything to do with the puppy, he is also distancing himself from the family. According to the above tool, that would be about 78 years of age in human years. However, this calculator is for a medium dog. For a small dog, such as a Yorkshire Terrier, calculations can be a bit different. Several sources say that a 14-year-old yorkie would be about 72 years old in human terms. Remember, this critical learning period (7-16 weeks old) comes only once in your dog's life. So you want to get it right. But socialization doesn't END with puppyhood. ADOLESCENT socialization is next in importance. Adolescence begins somewhere between 6 and 9 months old. It ends somewhere between 14 months old and 3 years old.

My boyfriend and I just rescued an 8 month old hound mix and my dog who is 5 years old will not accept him. My dog is very possessive of me and will grow at the new puppy when he goes anywhere near him. He has snapped on him when he went over to get closer to him on the couch but no one was bit. An older resident dog will be less threatened by a puppy, than it will by another adult dog. A pup or adolescent will most likely accept either. Give a thought to size and breed characteristics. If your current dog is from a breed with a strong prey-drive, introducing a new puppy who is a small, fast-moving breed is probably not the best idea. Choose a new dog or cat who will mesh well with your current pet. For instance, it can be helpful if your new puppy — when fully grown — is the same size as or smaller than your senior dog, so the former doesn’t beat up on the latter too much. It’s also a good idea to get a pet of the opposite sex. DO NOT SCOLD your adult for this; this is a normal and needed exchange. Some dogs may leap up and go a step or two toward the puppy (especially toy breeds with larger-breed pups). This may cause the puppy to squeal, run away, cower, grovel back up to the adult or stay well clear. All are normal. The rare older dog allows the puppy to take the toy.

Approximately one week before bringing the new puppy home, arrange for the older dog to meet the puppy at a park or anywhere that is not his home territory. Lavish the older dog with affection and assurance as he sniffs and greets the new dog. Take them on a walk together if the puppy is old enough to be led on a leash. Hi Dr.Chris, I have a almost 8 yr old cockapoo, Abby She HATES to be groomed HATES it!! I had been giving her Benadryl for awhile..seemed ok with it …but now it’s not having the calming effect on her as it used to and her grooming day is a nightmare!! We have to muzzle her […] At nearly 12 years of age, her owners had adopted a puppy to help keep her young. Unfortunately, Susie was not very appreciative of this little gift. Tito is a deliciously cute, rambunctious, obnoxious, annoying, hyperactive, 12-week-old Border Collie. From the very beginning, he was all over Susie. Do not keep handing the new puppy off to people. It’s hard to resist the urge to pick up and hug a new puppy. But, right now, the goal is an introduction to the home and too much handling can be stressful. Each person should knee/bend to great the puppy and say hello. Long snuggles can come later.
