I think that whether or not two Yorkies are easy to cope with --- depends on the Yorkies.

We have 3 (one Maltese, a senior) and two Yorkies. We got the second Yorkie just a couple of weeks ago. He needed a new home, and I thought he would be a good fit with my other Yorkie, a 1 year old female, because he was very similar in size (both teapots) and they were born about 3 weeks apart.

With the addition of Chuy, the dynamics of our pack have changed, definitely for the better. Jezebel craves being around and playing with other dogs, and our senior wanted to have nothing to do with her. Jezebel would try to play with her, becoming totally annoying. I was constantly having to get the pup to stop antagonizing the senior. Since Chuy joined us, he and Jezebel entertain one another and our senior is almost entirely left alone, just as she prefers.

Chuy's temperament is really sweet, too, and he came to us 100% paper trained and already neutered. He hasn't had one accident, and he isn't into destructive chewing, and when he gets outside he sticks very close by and doesn't run off. My husband has said so many times that "he's not a bit of trouble," and it really is true.

So a second Yorkie (third dog) actually simplified our lives. Whether or not this would be true in your case, who knows? I depends very much on the dogs.

One thing that I would caution you on is that sometimes two females will have problems getting along, and I think this is especially true if they haven't been spayed. You need to get them together to see if they "click" before you make a permanent decision (and I would do this regardless of whether they are two females, two males, or one of each).
