Hi!
I don't often post around YT but was curious about everyone's experience owning more than 1 yorkie at a time, specially if same gender.

I am the owner of 3 yorkies, 1 male and 2 females and I'm finding it hard to handle the girls. They grew up together but when they hit adulthood they started to dislike each other. It is mainly Nina (the parti one) who wants to be the alpha dog. Bambi (my boy) ignores them when they're at it and he is just the sweetest teapot. Problem is the fights are escalating as they get older and I am coming to a point where I think the only way is for me to leave 2 of them with my parents (the teapots) and take the troublesome Nina with me and have her live with no other dogs.

I have been reading websites and came across one from a man with 45 years of experience saying you can't raise 2 puppies at the same time because it will always be chaotic and that dogs should be living separated. But I find this kind of thinking extreme so I want to hear from your experiences since many of you have more than 1 baby.
