I have 3 Yorkies too, my pack is made up of a Father, Mother & Daughter so the relationship may be different than others that are NOT related or the same sex so there is NO Competition between them. There is more competition if they are siblings from the same Litter or they are the same sex. They only eat dry dogfood and they all eat from the same bowls, they share their dogfood & water without any problems. Dominance is a constant
struggle and you should never leave them un-attended unless they are completely Trained and you trust them? Which for Yorkies is saying alot.
Unless you are Alpha and have complete control over them they will continue to try to dominate each other in every way possible, since you are NOT taking charge? Remember there is only one Leader position the rest are Followers. Which one are You?

What kind of relationship do you have with them together and seperately?
