I have a 1 year old yorkie, his name is Manny. My boyfriend and I have been thinking about getting another yorkie - but this time a girl. I just wanted to ask those that have more than 1 dog... was it an easy transition going from 1 dog to 2 dogs? Also, what is the best way to 'introduce' the 2 so that there's no tension or animosity towards each other?
Few Notes:
1) Manny is neutered.
2) We plan on getting the female spayed once she reaches the appropriate age. |
Hi! I have a year old male too (he turned 1 in December). He is very very spoiled - aren't they all?
We just added an addition to our family a few weeks ago - a little girl yorkie. She was 17 weeks old when we got her...I think her age helped with the transition. I was lucky..by day 3 they were best buddies. Day 1 was difficult. I had to introduce them myself because my finance was out of town on business. Teddy kept giving me a look like "who is this?". He was very hesitent to play. She had no problems adjusting at all. Each day got better and better. I really focused on trying to play with them together. I think that helped. When my fiance got home from his business trip Teddy was back to his old self! I recommend getting another while your male is still young. It helps with him accepting the new one.
I would recommend getting one a similar size...because my two play hard! Teddy is 4lbs and she is 2lbs (she should mature around 3.5). Teddy sleeps in the bed with us and she sleeps in her x-pen. She is really good and doesn't cry at all. I also think that has to do with the age she was when we got her.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me!
Best,
