I have three and one gets carsick so I don't take her places as often, but I will sometimes take two or all three and then I take the stroller. I love my stroller and so do they. If I take just one the other two are not lonely because they have each other. I also have two other dogs who are bigger so I separate them when I leave but there is just a gate between rooms so they can see each other or sometimes I put the yorkies in the xpen if I am only going to be gone a short time.
My three are all 4 lbs or under.
As far as jealousy, yes, there can be jealousy. Some people say it is best to get the opposite sexes if you have two. I have two girls and one boy but my boy is very laid back and the female I got first is the alpha. I have to discipline her and really supervise her actions around my other little girl because she does get jealous if they are vying for my attention. It is getting better now and she doesn't do it as often now. If I am not involved, they play very well together.
Imo having more than one is easier in the sense that they can play with each other and I do not have to constantly play with them. It is harder because you have to train them, bathe them, brush them, take then to the vet, etc. separately, and that is all time consuming but so worth it to me!!
Hope that helps. |
