| Hi , How Are You Doing? I Am Getting Him From Someone On The Island Who Is Moving. I Did Not See Him Yet , But She Has Shown Me Pics. He Is 9 Months And About The Same Size As Sammy. What Do You Mean, Bring Out The Best? Sammy Does Not Like Any Dogs And Is A Little Aggressive When He Is Around Them ,by Biting Them. I Am A Little Afraid, And Hopefully He Will Be Ok. Will His Personality Change At All, Like I Am Afraid He Will Not Be That Crazy About Me , As He Is Now. |

| It completely depends on the personalities of your dogs. Wosie was almost two when we got Dreama, who was 4 at the time. Wosie adores her sister! Dreama, who was raised to be an "only child" would be happier if she still was, I think. She doesn't play with Wo a whole lot, and keeps to herself more than hang with Wosie. But I know they love each other, they just love their peeps more than they love each other. It's my hubby and I who can't just have one dog. We each are happier with our "own", even though we love them both. Wosie has always been a momma's girl, and Dre is Daddy's. Therefore, there is no question in our house. There must be two! Get the second dog, and see how it goes.

| All dogs are different as far as personalities and the way they react to things. We had Jake for a year when we decided to get another. Jake is very much a mama's boy, and we spend alot of time together playing. I was a little worried about how he would react to having a new pup in the house, but I made sure that I paid the same amount of attention to both. Jake did get a little mad at me, and he wouldn't sleep next to me or sit with me for a few days. But, I just kept paying lots of attention to him, giving him lots of affection and praise. Within a few days, he was back to himself and was having lots of fun playing with his new brother, Jackson. The two of them play together A LOT, but Jake still likes to play with me the same as always. They do get a little jealous of each other. I try not to make a big deal out of it, and I give them both the same amount of affection. Jake actually seems much less jealous than Jackson now lol. Getting a second yorkie didn't change Jake's personality. He is still the same. It takes time for the two to get to know each other, etc. Some take longer than others. I was really happy with the way things worked out for us, and I would even love to have a third!

| Some people say that with one dog you are their world but with two dogs they are each others world. Not sure how much truth there is to that with Yorkies. Misty (11yrs) is still loveable an I still seem to be the centre of Tessa's (8mths) world even though they play great together. I have been thinking about getting a 2nd Yorkie too. Please let me know how it goes if you do get him.
