Hello guys,

I have an amazing 3 yr old yorkie stud. I got him as a puppy from a breeder in TX who was retiring. My precious Lucky has all the shots and has gotten two genetic tests and all medical tests required to qualify him as a stud. Despite having spent a lot of money in the aforementioned tests, I've not decided if I will breed him or not, as I know becoming a breeder is no easy task.

I have a classmate from school who's mother has brain cancer. They are in urgent need to permanently relocate their 7 ry old male yorkie. The dog is pure breed and has all his papers. However, the dog is not neutered and is not up to date in his vaccines.

Needless to say, if I were to get their dog I would fix him and get all his vaccines before bringing him home. The dog is very cute and friendly and has lived all his life with a cat. I wanna take him in mostly to help my friend during this terrible time for him and his mother.

However, I don't know if it will be a good idea to bring in another male dog, even if fixed, when I have my own male dog that is not fixed. Lucky (my yorkie) is very spoiled and I don't know how he would react to having another dog home.

According to my vet, after having my friend's dog fixed, I should wait three to four weeks before bringing him home, as to let any left over testosterone to get out of his system.

I wanna help my friend, but my own doggie is my first priority. I don't want to put Lucky in a situation in which he's gonna be miserable!

I would like to know if anybody has had a similar experience (having one male dog fixed and another that is not) and your opinions regarding my dilemma.

Thank you very much!
