Question advice/opinions needed(considering a playmate for Turky)

I have been contemplating getting a brother for Turk for the past few months(another yorkie, of course ). However, I am torn. Turk still hasn't 'graduated' from his designated area without supervision as he still likes to be a bit of a stinker and sometimes gets himself into trouble. My biggest issue is that he still wants to mark a certain spot and is quite the chewer. I would consider him to be housebroke for the mostpart, but he is extremely stubborn and still occasionally has "accidents"(no matter how many times a day I take him out). This concerns me. I'm not sure if bringing in another dog would add to the problem or perhaps improve his behavior(I sometimes wonder if boredom might be an issue).

Turk is extremely playful(he's 1.5 YO). IF I choose to follow thru with this, I would really prefer to adopt. Preferably an older dog...approximately 2-3 YO. I want what's best for Turk and his potential buddy. I'm apprehensive because I know what a huge commitment this is and part of me feels a tiny bit uncertain I could handle 2 spunky yorkies.

People are always telling me that 2 are easier than one and I can see how that may be true, but what if it's not in my case? lol

I'm very interested to hear your thoughts/opinions on this. Thank you for your time.
