I am waiting to bring home a new pup from the breeder to join my pup, age 6. I wanted a little girl, and there is one there and she so far isn't growing much so its not likely she will make it to 5 - 6 lbs like my current girl pup is. its early days yet, she is 16 days old, but the 2 boy pups in the litter are growing much bigger than she is so far.

There is also a 1 yr old boy (not neutered yet, but thats easy enough to look after) that is now available - he was going to be a show pup but now won't be.

I am completely agonizing over the decision between whether to bring this little guy home to us, or to wait for the little girl pup to reach 12 weeks and come home with us. My decision is to bring home both!! But thats not a possibility (according to my husband...I would totally do it...my love of pets is how I came to have 4 cats, and one yorkie, with another on the way...but my husband really feels one more pup is our max).

based on this info, one female yorkie age 6, 4 cats, can anyone offer advice or pros and cons to both options? also, is it "easier" to mix a 12 week old with a 6 yr old dog, or the 1 yr old? adding a male better than bringing in another girl...any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!
