It would not be safe to crate or pen them together for a good while and if they are crated separately, the two dogs will not be company for each other..
These are just a few questions and comments that I as a breeder would ask. I am not trying to be mean, but there are so many more things to consider before adding another Yorkie to your family.. |
no this is great and exactly what I need to know so I can make a good decision for all. yes I work full time. when I got my boy I took off a month to adj so I would do the same thing in this case. I dont crate train, although lucky does sleep in his crate at night. in the day he's gated in the laundry room, so that where she would be also. he's litter box and outdoor trained so he doesnt have to hold it til someone gets home. my honey is home from work by 2pm and my son is home by 330p everyday to let lucky out to play in the backyard. and we have a yorkie club on our street 4 yorkies total so we walk them all together in the morning and in the evening and they have play dates sunday after church and any spare time we can find in between. hes very social,trained(no tricks just potties in the right place and he know what he can and cannot do for the most part) so I think with the whole family (me,hubby,son,daughter) pitching in again we can make this work.....now tell me... will this work??? are you asking this because 2 dogs needs extra attention or does a small dog need more attention than a normal size.....with the info im giving what is your opinion????
