| Companion for Saffron I was wondering if Saffron would like to have a companion besides me. I have 2 old cats but they want nothing to do with her.(She's 8 months & they're 16 years) Besides another Yorkie, what other dogs might make a good companion for Saffron (& me). Also, should it be a male or female (Saffie's a female), & what age would be good? I only work 4 hours a day, sons are grown & gone & hubby is still working so I do enjoy the company. Thanks so much for any help you can give me. I just love YorkieTalk because of all the wonderful & knowledgeable people on it! |

| There's lots of members here with a Yorkie and another dog, some big, some small. In most cases, it seems like the Yorkie gets along with the other ones. I think the same sex is better for a companion. If you have opposite sexes, they may want to mate, even if they are fixed. Good luck on finding a companion! |

| I think it would probably be good to get another small dog. Maybe a maltese or a small poodle. A chihuahua maybe or a papillon? |

| I have 2 Yorkies and they get along pretty good. As far as another breed - it seems like lots of people who have Yorkies also have Malteses. I don't know from experience, it just seems like I see that combination a lot...

| I have a yorkie and a yorkie mix - maybe you could find a small rescue to adopt? If I were ever to get another breed, I would want a Papillion.

| I have a male puppie 16 weeks and a female 12 weeks. I got them both at a young age because I wanted them to grow up together. I like it because I get the best of both with a male and a female. They get along well also.
