I waited about a year to add my 2nd. I wanted Luma to be fully potty trained (which she was, at around 7 months). Another aspect was waiting until Luma was spayed because I knew I wanted another female and thought it'd be best to not have 2 females with hormones influencing their relationship with each other.
The #1 reason we wanted a second was for the socialization aspect. We would go to the dog park and Luma preferred the humans over the dogs and acted very submissive and aloof. Didn't know how to act around another dog. She is so much better now that she has Rosie around constantly. Having two yorkies was a great decision for us. It is twice the work, twice the money, twice the training time, twice the unconditional love. Totally worth it. |
