| I don't have 3 yorkies....yet. But I do have 4 dogs, a maltese, a yorkie, a yorkiepoo, and a cocker. And I will be getting another maltese and another yorkie within the next couple of months. The only time it is really a mad house is when someone comes over or is at the door, but even that only last 5 minutes. They all get along and behave really well all other times. So for us, it is not a mad house at all. I love having this many, it would be very lonely and seem bare without that many.

| We're a recent three yorkie household....Just got our third one about two weeks ago. Believe it or not...Has not been much of a difference from two to three! Except for maybe bath time... MORE Water EVERYWHERE! |

| I have 4 Yorkies and a Golden Retriever and at times it can be totally crazy, but it's usually fun....notice I say "usually"....LOL Would love to have a Chihuahua too, but I think I'm pushing my luck..especially at bath and grooming time.

| I have 2 yorkies, one male and one female. Like you, I REALLY want another male! My husband is such a big dog person that I was lucky just to get TWO out of him! I'd feel bad asking him for a third until after he is able to get his "big dogs"! Keep us updated on what you decide to do! |

| We enjoy our dogs (and currently do have three). The only real concern with having multiple dogs, IMO is that you have to consider the expense of upkeep. Not a real heavy load: food, vet, grooming, etc., but something to keep in mind. Soooooo, if you have the funds go for it. Good luck to you!

| We have three Yorkies, (mom, dad, and baby). It was no trouble at all. In fact they all keep each other company. I think its almost easier to have three pups then one pup.

| We will have 3,we already have really,Meg,Paddy and their 3 babies, one of which we are keeping. Meg never likes playing,I dont think she knows how (I got her when she was 6).We tried 2 different dogs to be Paddys playmate,one was Paddys half brother and they didnt like living together at all. We got a yorkie x westie and Paddy hated him too. We figured he just didnt like another dog (male) in the house as he did nothing but pace and scent mark. So when he went and did the naughty deed to Meg we said if there is a girl in there we will keep her,so her names Minnie and she adores her Daddy!! And he plays with her like a dream! I guess it all depends on the dog. |

| I am blessed with 4 yorkies and a chow-mix. Sometimes it is one crazy house when they all are running around. My chow-mix, lucky is 16 years old she is real laid back but every once in a while joins in the fun. I don't seen any difference with two or four. Mine get along so well, they sleep together and let me sleep on the bed and they eat out of the same bowl. Only time I wish I had one is our once a week bath time. Like others have posted if you can afford another one the go for it. One or ten they are a joy to have.

| I have 3!! 2 boys and 1 girl! And they are all age 2 and under! It is crazy sometimes! But for the most part, they just have fun playing and chasing each other!!! They love it! They run thru the whole house from room to room and I call it the Yorkie 500!!!! Cracks me up!!!! But other than that, its not bad! I love it! I still want a 4th!!!! It does get crazy when I walk all 3 of them!!!! We moved into a new neighborhood last year, and my boys knew how to walk too nicely on the sidewalks! And where we live now, doesn't have sidewalks. So they are all over the place while walking! I get tangled up and they get tangled!! Its like a circus coming down the road! LOL!!!! http://www.dropshots.com/mandyiezzi Here are a bunch if videos if you want to see how all 3 of mine play with each other and silly they can be! I hope you are ready to laugh!!!That is one thing for sure...you will be laughing alot with 3!!!!!

| I have one yorkie and really feel he needs a friend. A few people have told me that if you have a puppy and get anther the dogs bond with each other and not with the owner.... I am thinking potty training two would be as easy as one but I am afraid that Chewy would revert backwards.... he is doing soooo well right now, he is only 4 1/2 months old... my little man! My daughter wants a little girl and so do I... any advice, or thoughts on this? |

| Hi, we have a total of 7, with 2 staying with my oldest daughter. It only becomes unbearable when someone comes to the door.. Its fun watching the different personalities and the chaos they create. Lil Bear, Sir Lance, Lady Gwen, AnnaRose, Samantha Joel, Sophia and Toby are at my daughters. I love everyone one of them. They all have their own agenda. More puppies means more loving.. |
