I truly believe you should do whatever is possible to have both yorkies in your life. You were chosen by them... watching the video seems like they are two peas in a pod, little buddies 
They will keep each other company, leaving them home to run errands, work etc will be so much less tormenting knowing they are together and not just one alone.
About the renting...
When I was renting I was always charged one fee for both when I explained both their weights equal less than 10 pounds. This goes for when we are on vacation, I have always been charged one fee, since they are so small.
I just couldn't imagine leaving him or her behind  |
I agree with this post! I still think you should get both of them. It really won't be much harder to train two as opposed to one... just be consistent in your training with both of them. And like the others have said, they will keep each other company when you are away - they already look like best friends now.
As far as the naysayers - don't worry about them. I'd be curious to know if they even have dogs or if they are just miserable without the little bundles of joy. Again, you could ask the breeder if she would take a deposit on the boy and make payment arrangements. I just can't imagine you leaving that darling little boy behind. Not to mention his sister will be missing him too. Jack had a sister with him when I bought him and often times I wish I would have bought her also. I don't think it would have been much harder to raise two and actually may have been easier than raising one. Good luck again!
