the yorkie was a rescue.we have doxies in home already.
It is generally recommended to introduce dogs to each other on neutral ground such as at the shelter or a park. However, this doesn’t always eliminate bullying by your current dogs. We did this when we adopted our pomchi mix…we took our yorkie and pomeranian to meet him in the shelter playroom. The yorkie and the new dog got along just fine, but the pomeranian just ignored him. When the new dog was delivered to us, the yorkie still got along great with him. However, it has taken around 3 years for the pomeranian to finally accept him, but she has attacked him so often that the pomchi is scared to try playing with her.
Sometimes it just depends on how laid back your current dogs are. Previous dogs that we adopted were introduced right away at home with no problems.

Let them meet your dog at the shelter and get comfortable with it.

Leash all 3 dogs and have someone else hold the leashes of the 2 you already have. First just let them see eachother. If there’s no barking or growling, let them sniff eachother. If there’s alot of excitement, you can hold the new dog and turn him so your dogs can sniff his butt. If they seem ok, take all three for a walk. One person needs to hold the new one’s leash and the other person holds the others’ leashes. If all is going well, try holding all 3 leashes together. Keep an eye out for any aggression. If this happens, you may need some professional help in introducing them. Just make sure you remain calm as your energy will transfer to the dogs. You also have to make sure to maintain a proper pecking order. Your first 2 dogs get greeted first, petted first, fed first. The new dog is always low man on the totem pole. If you’re really nervous about this, ask for help from a trainer or behaviorist. It’s important to do this correctly.
