I too have been away from the yorkietalk community for quite awhile - I initially joined 3 years ago when I was getting my lil guy - Gizmo. We are also considering adding an addition to our family. Initially we were going to get another male yorkie - however after talking to our vet - he suggested opposite sex and different breed. His reasoning behind this is b/c Gizmo has always had a lil anxiety issue and he feels that bringing another male into the house could increase the anxiety. He also didnt think it was a good idea to get something smaller than Giz (who is 12 lbs lol) I am going tomorrow to see a 3 1/2 month old female scottish terrier.
it appears several of you have more than one yorkie - any opinions on this opposite sex/breed thing? - my husband wants to go w/ the original male yorkie plan but again after talking to the vet - im a lil unsure.
Thanks,!
