[TNYorkieMama]

We just added 2 yorkies-one male, one female- to our family. They have seriously brought so much joy to our home. We had Sophie here about a week before we brought Tyler home. In the beginning, it was as if they had already known each other as they literally seemed to ignore one another like "no big deal". We kept them in our guest bathroom at bedtime since day 1. Even though we have two kennels, we only leave 1 in there with the door opened so they could get out to get water or use the pee pad as needed. (Tyler was already pad trained.) With the bathroom being tile, the only soft comfy place to sleep would be in the kennel and since day 1 they didn't mind sleeping in it together. They are now good little "friends". They cuddle together for naps on the sofa (so cute) even though they have plenty of soft spots to choose from. Also, I just LOVE watching them play together. They give us lots of daily laughs! I am so glad we decided to add them both to our family!

Also before my husband and I had children, we had had 3 yorkies at one time. I had Gizmo, my male, before we got married. He was loaded with personality and the most playful little guy I had ever known! After we got married, our first home had a large 1.5 acre fenced in yard that we loved taking him out to run and subsequently chase squirrels in. That was his absolute favorite thing to do. He never succeeded in catching one (thankfully!) but he was sure determined! Even though we took him on walks and took him outside in our yard daily, he still was just overly energetic! That was when we decided to add another yorkie. This time a female we named Lexi. She was very playful with Gizmo and finally seemed to fulfill his need for play; in addition, I finally had a cuddlebug in her and him! We loved having her so much that we decided to complete our yorkie family by adding one more female, little Abby. Abby was an extreme lovebug, but even though she ended up the smallest of the 3, she soon ruled the yorkie pack. Most of the time they all got along great, but every now and then the 2 (spayed) females would fight- it never got too serious though. I never saw ANY aggression between the male and either of the females.

From my experience, I have had so much joy by have multiple yorkies. Also in my experience having a female and male seems to go the smoothest...although I have never had more than one male at a time. My 2 females did fight sometimes, so I personally would recommend adding a male (neutered) if you decide to do so.

Good luck!
