I have two yorkies & they are littermates. They are male & female, get along great & love each other - although they do have spats from time to time, but nothing severe. When we first got them we were very concerned about them fighting, but most of it was just play & establishing dominance right away. Fast forward almost a year later, and they still play like crazy but they really are just playing. From everything I've read & what my vet said to watch for is if one yelps or stops to get a drink of water & the other one doesn't back off, you should step in. I have heard that 2 dogs of the same gender in a household just doesn't work sometimes. I know of someone who had a female shihtzu & added a female yorkie & they had to get rid of the yorkie since the two constantly fought & they feared one of them would actually kill the other. If it's very severe, sometimes you have to think what's best for the animal & find one of them a good home. I know that it will be difficult. Best of luck to you & your new pups!
