| Another yorkie?!? I have an 8 month old 5.2 pound yorkie, and i absolutly LOVE him. He is the only inside dog. Is it good to have 2 yorkies or would huxtyn be better off if it was just him?

| I personally could never have just one. I think two is more ideal because they keep each other company and dogs are pack animals that are happiest with their own kind.

| I think it just depends on your lifestyle. In general, I'd say two is better than one. I want a second but for now, one just works for me. It's so easy and I'm scared to rock the boat. We have such a great bond and I'm mainly worried about that being affected... and everything is cheaper and easier with one. Remember doubling vet costs, doubling clothes , doubling food costs, etc, etc. But, in my case, Jackson gets a ton of time with other dogs. We sleep at my dads place 2 nights a week or so and he has 2 other dogs, we get to the dog park weekly, I am a dogwalker so he usually comes with me 5 days a week to walk the dogs with me. I am able to easily bring him with me to family members homes for holidays, parties, etc with no problems. Vacations are easy with one (hotels sometimes charge per pet), family/friends are more willing to accept one into their home, but maybe wouldn't with 2, etc, etc. I will be renting at some point in the near future, and they often charge hefty fees per pet, or some only allow one. It's a lot of things to think about!!

| We had three yorkies. We lost one a year and a half ago and another just a few weeks ago. We miss them terribly. Our little 5 year old Kallie, who is also a yorkie, is so lost. We are thinking of getting another yorkie. She just seems so sad without her sisters. Hope we have luck finding a good breeder. I think that they all like having a companion. All of our dogs did just fine together and provided a lot of company for each other when we were at work. |
