| second yorkie Generally is 8 months old and we are considering a play mate for him. Would a 3 month old be to young of a puppy to get or should I get one older. He is about 7 pounds now and VERY active and playful. He wears out the neighbors poodle! What I am afraid of is getting one that is to young to keep up. I am going to call my breeder and see if she has one that has not been picked up yet. Any ideas or tips? I was not going to get a second one, but my husband seems to think it will help Generally especially while we are both at work. I work part time, but three days a week we are gone 10 + hours. |

| I think you should get another one =D I don't think 3 months old is too young. Maybe you should bring him along to the breeders house and see how he does. If you still seemed concerned there are probably some 5 month olds out there available and they would be a lot bigger. You could also rescue. |

| I think those ages would be fine together. My 1 year old and 3 month old (5 months now) have been great pals. Lola just jumps up on the bed or sofa when she wants a break from the constant play. |

| pebbles just turned 6 months and I am getting a 3 month old lil boy in the middle of july.. so she will be 7 months then. I think they will do fine considering pebbles little size! I wanted to get another one while she was still a puppy |

| I just got a 3 month old to play with my 1-year old, and if I were you, I definitely would NOT be worried about the 3 month old not being able to keep up! So far, it's the opposite for me, my 1-year-old can't keep up with the new puppy! Good luck, and I agree that it is great to give your puppy a playmate! |

| I think you'd be fine with a 8 month old and a 3 month old... just make sure you supervise them together for the first couple weeks at all times. I love your baby's name! Generally!
