It may work out fine, but if either of your larger dogs has any prey drive it could also turn out to be a disaster unless you are able to completely separate the small dog from the larger at all times interactions could not be closely supervised. Don't forget that Yorkies, despite their size, are terriers and terriers do have a tendency to want to dominate even if the other dogs are 10 times their size and terriers also generally won't back down. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> "A dog wags his tail with his heart."
