| 2nd Yorkie I really want a second Yorkie, but the common sence wount let me do it. We live in a 1 brm appartment, I work 10 hours a day, wife works 3 times a week. Remi is fine when alone, he mostly sleeps and saves his energy for when we come home. I dont have a problem walking him so he goes out on 90% regular basis. WE also take him on road trips, parks and long walks. I was wondering how much more work would it be to have a 2nd doggie. I dont want to have a zoo at home, but the way I look at it, 1 Yorkie = Lots of Joy 2 Yorkies = Even more Joy. These dogs need minimal care, hardly eat anything. All they want is people to play with them and be nice to them. Our place does no have any Dog odors, Remi smells like a cookie most of the time. Would a second dog contribute to or ad any odor? Thanx |

| I think there are pro's and cons to your decision. the good thing would be that 2 yorkies keep eachother company and play together while you are at work. No offence but I dont agree with the bit about yorkies needing minimal care, they need a lot of care,probably more so than some bigger breeds. But anyway good luck deciding,I hope it all works out |

| When I was working I had two yorkies so they kept each other company. They were always very good together (for 13 years!). Now that I am not working, I spend more time with my little guy (adopted recently, almost 7) so he's fine without a buddy. It's a personal choice. It does take more time but was worth it to me. Cost can be a factor, too, since it means two dogs that have to go to vet for regular care. I've been thinking about getting a second one, too, but not totally sure about it. |
