I would definately say yes to another Yorkie for your little one. Given your work schedule, I would consider getting an older female-6 months or so-as smaller puppies require alot of attention and observation. I would be concerned that maybe your schedule would make that difficult. And if you aren't there to supervise them and prevent "accidents", you'd have to get one or the other altered...or keep them separated while you are away, thus defeating the whole purpose!

As far as breeding them, I would say no way! At least not now. It is a very time consuming venture and from the description, seems like your work schedule would make it darn near impossible.

If you are intersted in breeding in the future though, you can and should definately get started now preparing yourself by researching, studying the breed standard, meeting some other Yorkie breeders, working with them if possible, finding a mentor. These are all things to do BEFORE breeding and will do nothing but benefit you in the long run. (Before even buying breeding stock--otherwise, how would you know what to look for in a dog?)

Good luck and keep us updated on your [possible] search for a new little one.
