Default Adding a 6 year old Yorkie

So not long after we got Wrigley (almost 5 months old now) I started thinking he would love a play mate. This spawned after we took him to the doggie park and I saw him playing with a yorkie there.

So I've kind of half way been looking for a breeder selling a female (pet only) for a decently cheap price since it would mean adding double the food/toys/vet bills ect. OR looking for a female yorkie. I've been looking mostly for a female because I'm too out numbered by males here between my husband and Wrigley and our male Leopard Gecko

So I emailed the breeder I got Wrigley from today just sending him a updated pictures of Wrigley and also to let me know when he has any female pups.

So he emailed me back saying that he is looking to rehome Wrigley's Aunt who is 6 years old. He is retiring her from breeding. I was really looking for a yorkie 1 year old or younger, but now I'm curious.

What would be the pros/cons of adding a 6 year old female with a 5 month old male. Do you think they would play together? Do 6 year olds typically still have playful energy? I know it will vary per each dog, but does anyone have a yorkie this age or have any experience in this type of situation?
