I have four and can't imagine life without them. The fun and joy they bring to my life is immeasurable. It is also wonderful to see the companionship they have with each other.

However, everybody's situation is a little different, so you should weigh out all the different aspects of having more than one, especially the cost of veterinary care.

In my case, I am home most of the time, have a big house and yard, and can provide for all the extra costs including vet care. Luckily they are healthy, but soon they will be due for their annual vet check up, and 2 will prob need dental, so that will be about $1,500. Grooming can be costly; last time I had all 4 done at once it was close to $300, so I groom them myself.

Another thing to consider, if you love taking your dog with you everywhere, having 2 can be more challenging to take along. But, at least they have company when they are left at home. Be prepared for "double trouble" too, double potty accidents, and double barking. The reward is double kissies.

They are addicting though, and the thought of Yorkie puppies is very tempting (even to me with 4).
