| Two yorkies I only have one yorkie male who is soon to be nine years. I hate to leave him by himself,he seems so sad when I leave for work. Does anybody have any feedback on the pros and cons of me getting another male yorkie. He gets along well with other smaller dogs. He plays with them alot. Thanks |

| I have two a boy and a girl. I got them both when they were puppies 8 weeks apart in age. They get along well and keep each other company. They also do some bad things together like get into the waste paper basket etc. The younger one the girl follows the older around. I am sure if your dogs gets along with other dogs he will do fine. Its fun with two. Good luck.

| Zsa Zsa is 13 years old will be 14 in June . Recently , I have had the chance to have another one , Jade is 1 year old . If you have another one , be sure to supervise them . I didn't want to have a young puppy with the older one because she is very sick . It took them about a week to be friendly . Little Zsa Zsa Have had no intentions to lose her place . |

| When I 1st got Missy she was the only yorkie in the house, she was sad when I left and acted a little sad or shy when I returned home. I felt bad for her so I got her a companion Max. Now when I leave they are both playing and happy, they give me lots of kisses when I leave, they play and nap all day, then when I come home they are both so happy to see me. Having 2 yorkies works out great for me, they keep eachother company when I am not there and they have lots of fun together |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | 2 YORKIES = DOUBLE YOUR FUN I am so glad we got another yorkie - I loved having Chanel to myself ...but getting Cheri was a great decision ! They're like Laverne & Shirley...each different ...but inseperable |

| I think yorkies are like potato chip You can never have just one! Your yorkie will do great with a sibling and so will you!! I have two and it is so much fun to watch them and interact. |

| I wouldn't get a very young puppy because he/she might be too much for your older dog. But then again an older puppy(over a year) might be pretty set in his/her ways and be too demanding of your attention. Think over the pros and cons of different ages, get more opinions before you decide but I would get another for company. Your dog may not take too well to another male, alpha male and all that. Is he fixed? If so I'd say another male would work out ok. Sylvia |

| I have a female yorkie, 1 yr. 9 months, just got a male, he is now 12 weeks. Sachi (male) bites Bellas hair, they run around "fighting"; yesterday bella knocked Sachi to the ground, had him on his back, was biting his head (he was crying) and then started dragging him as I approached. I have to watch them together constantly, not sure if it is fighting or playing, but I know Sachi cries a lot when they do "play". So in my case, it isn't double my fun, it's double the work to make sure the new yorkie isn't eaten while I am not looking. I do adore them both though |

| Double the fun..... I also have 2 yorkies... Meeko & Molly. I love them both. They get along great, the look out for one another and keep themselves company when we all go to work or school. It is great to see them cuddle together at nights. It is a joy to come home and be welcomed by both your furbabies!!! I give you a !!!!!!!! Good Luck.

| I have a one year old male that is a little lover and I got a 12 wk old female a month ago. The first two weeks were constant stress bc my little girl, Bunny is very fiesty and has a dominant personality that makes up for what she lacks in size. They are now best friends and attached at the hip, but I will say that I was a little worried for Tino bc he acted really depressed at first, but that quickly went away. I just think your situation is different bc your yorkie in 9 years old and won't be as tolerant of a little puppy crawling all over him. I have also hear that its best to mix genders... boys have domination issues that come through in marking problesm and that two females together can be very high strung, whereas they would be more relaxed in a different situation. |
