| Which is a bigger jump... Hey Yall, Which is a bigger jump, which is more difficult? Going from 1 dog to 2, or 2 dogs to three? I have a shih tzu and a yorkie. And it hasn't been awful, just a little more work...and money, but its worth it. Is it easy to just add one more. I really want to add another yorkie to the mix next year. Haven't decided if I want a boy or a girl yet, but I can decide that later. At least I know where I'll get the little bugger, I've got a great breeder. Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks |

| Well...my dad just adopted a siberian husky after we got Mango. It's not too different. We already had a pug, and Mango, my Yorkie! Having a third dog is just like having another friend in the house. Just another one to feed, take on walks, brag about (ha ha!), it's not hard though...3 dogs is even better than 2! |

| I would think going from one to two is a bigger jump than going from two to three. I say go for it when you're ready!

| I loved having 3! It was my favorite number....then I jumped to 5 and last year I jumped to 8!! Don't do 8, just go to 3 and stay there!!

| What gender are the dogs in your home now? That might help you with your decision I like boy/girl combinations... I find my male to be more needy and affectionate while my female is more independent.

| Not if you get him neutered around 6 months. My male only marks outside.

| Then I think it makes sense to get a boy. I have read, like you said, that the boys are more affectionate. Kelsey doesn't like to be held for long, she just scampers away from me. Maybe she'll turn out to be more affectionate, who knows, she's only 14 weeks. |

| Once you opend your door for a second one they just keep coming... LOL! We had only one for 10 years then got a second, then one went to rainbow bridge but we were so adjusted to two that we got another one... then two more... and another one... The last has the meaningful name Mylo like in MY Last One and we hope that helps... |
