| more than one yorkie Hello everyone, We just got our new baby over the weekend and after reading a few books that sound more like military treatment than loving the dog i took away one thing. that they really like attention. I know probably most of us have to work, me and my wife both do and he will be at home alone for at least 8 hours a day. I wanted to see what all of you thought about having a second yorkie to keep each other company? To me it only makes sense. I even called up the breeder and they still have his brother! Any drawbacks of having a second yorkie? I would only think that it would make the 2 of them happy right? Also please dont think we torture our little guy either! He has the whole house to himself and it only took us about 1 day to potty train him on the paper, I ended up returning the crate because i just couldn't lock him in there for up to 8 hours. Our mother in law is there with him most days too. |

| I think 2 are a good idea. However, I find that my two sleep while I'm away, & not in the same room. So, I'm not sure about the "for company" justification, but who needs a justification when it come to Yorkies.

| Getting another one would be fantastic for all of you! They would make great companions not only for you and your wife, but also for each other. Congratulations!

| We got another one for the same reason, while I love this little guy more than anything I realized that Harley (my newest addition) really would have been betters as an only child. They just have completely different personalities and Harley is all yorkie, I swear Samson is a different breed (I haven't figured out which one yet) in a yorkie's body. When I first got Harley I felt so bad for Sam because Harley just didn't know his boundaries (and really still doesn't). Like I said I love both my little guys but I wish I had done more research on the personality of the 2nd dog I brought into the house to make sure it was a good fit. Harley just started puppy classes last night and I am hoping he'll learn some manners . Having said that when they do play well together it is the best thing ever.

| I would definitely get another. I have 3 yorkies and a maltese that live in the house and 5 labrador retrievers that are mostly outside. My little ones play together, sleep together and are never far from one another. Plus, that's just more puppy love for you!! The reason I have so many is totally for me. No matter what is going on in life, my furbabies always make me smile.

| I definitely recommend having at least two! Murphy & Chelsea are best buds - I don't know what they'd do without each other for entertainment. Welcome to YT!!

| My husband and I work also. When we got Daisy we hated leaving her home alone so we got another yorkie and another. We have 3 now. They love each other and all have different personalities.
