| Thinking if getting 2nd yorkie I have a 5month old little girl who is so sweet and she was easy to potty train,doesn't bark too much and is just a wonderful pet I love her like another child. Before her I had a little boy who I felt the same way about but he was very hard to potty train and barked alot at my husband which drove him nuts . My little boy got run over in jan. while I had him I never thought about getting another dog because he was such a handful 1 was enough .I've been wondering if another baby would be a nice companion for baby girl and if i would be lucky enough to find another mild mannered baby. I looked at a boy baby today and he was 10 1/2wks old and was so hyper you couldn't even hold him and he was so cute but really barked alot in the short time I was trying to love on him. Would it be better to think about a boy or girl if getting 2. I have a friend that has 3 yorkies and she has to keep her girls separated they fight so bad. DOes anyone have just 1 ? I would really have to do some sweet talking to my husband to convince him. Can't decide what I should do we both work full time but when home the puppy goes to all the kids ballgames with me,she rides with me to pick up kids from school,sleeps with us and is just a precious member of our family.I'm torn do I let her be the one and only and get all the attention or get her a friend.? |

| I am in a similar position. I just recently got a baby girl and because she is SO good I am considering another. Surely I can't win the lottery twice |

| I would work with your little girl and make sure she is trained, and developed. I would not buy a new Pup for your female so she has a friend. You may get a pup with my personality, and then you will up a creek without a paddle. You may find a nice quiet pup when you first look at it, and it can turn into a Shodan. JMHO |

| I'm in the same spot as you. I'm still unsure, but am leaning towards getting another little girl. Mine is very little so it would need to be a little one too, so that she can't beat up Sofia. Just not sure yet. |

| My Teddi is 3 1/2 years old and for the first 2 1/2 years of her life she had a big sister (a Standard Poodle). I thought she would miss her but she seems to love being the only one. If I did get another dog I would definitely get a girl. Personally I don't like the boys lifting their legs. I will say that it is so much easier with 1 dog. I can take her everywhere and it's a lot easier to watch 1 than 2. I just had 2 others visiting for a week and 3 was definitely a handfull!!!

| I've been wondering about the same thing. Charlie is a great dog with a great disposition (though he could do a bit better on house training.) He loves when my friend comes over with his dog, and I think how nice it would be to have someone around all day. He loves the kids and when they're home, they spoil him, but they're at school all day and they have activities and stuff like that. But I wonder if I'd be as lucky the second time around?? |

| Potty trianing on the wee wee pad Help we have a four month old boy he goes on the wee wee pad when we put him on it otherwise he just goes wherever. I try to not have him out for more than a half hour at a time so he does not have free reign of house. But he does not seek out the wee wee pad. Any suggestions. |

| My Olive is 4 months old and I'm getting 2 year old Treasure from Vwitscher. Olive is very spunky and free spirited and I've been told Treasure is a little more mellow and cuddly. I think the two will balance each other perfectly. I was actually looking for a little older dog originally that was housebroken when I found Olive. So I think this is my original wish being granted a little later than expected |
