What is wrong if a Yorkie has been withdrawn lately and could it be because we have a Jack Russell Terrier and Rat Terrier mix who is very active and is this dog too aggressive for the Yorkie?

Although I think Jack Russell's are a nice dog I wouldn't want to own one because they bounce off the walls (although the odd ones I've seen can be more sedate) but Jack Russell breeds are noted for being hyper active and they never seem to tire out. Yorkies are more sedate and little lap dogs. They prefer peace and quiet and play time. The Jack Russell is commanding things around the house and it's time for some serious training with this dog. When you say to 'stop' or 'lay down' then they should adhere to your commands no matter what the breed. Dogs need to know YOU are the leader of the pack and not them! If you had the Yorkie first then they SHOULD COME FIRST! This is the nature order of things 'pecking order.' All treats and meals should be given to the first dog in your home and then your Jack Russell should come next. I have a 4 year old Bichon Fise and a 2 year old Cockapoo and I always use this method. I don't allow my Cockapoo to try to push or order my Bichon around. I also give equal love and never just to one. I'd say you have your hands full. LOL NEVER allow your Jack Russell to torment your Yorkie! Put your foot down immediately! If it's a trial in your family please seek one on one training with your Jack Russell. There are many trainers out there that just train Jack Russell's. Another good thing for a Jack Russell (and good for the whole family) is belonging to a Jack Russell Club where you are meeting other owners and the dogs have a blast racing around through trial runs and having a complete field day and hopefully tiring out! When you do this take your Yorkie with you and hold her/him in your arms. If she/he doesn't like going then leave her/him at home with a family member.

Why does your gator mouth pitbull attack your American pitbull?
Because pitbulls are terriers, and all terriers are naturally dog-aggressive. Whether it's a Boston Terrier, or a Jack Russell, or a pit, they almost all have issues with other dogs. Obviously this is a spectrum, where some are more tolerant than others. Terriers tend to be less dog-aggressive as puppies, with many becoming less tolerant as they mature (especially if you don't spay/neuter!).

A Jack Russell is because a Schnauzer will bark their head off for no reason while a Jack Russell will be protective of their owner.
