Now, these articles were about dogs in general and might not apply to Yorkies. |
That stuff can happen with two of any dogs. Yorkies are very human doggies so I don't think there will be that problem of not bonding with you. I don't think the fighting of any two dogs you get as puppies and raise together is a high chance because they have been raised together. Two is always harder to train but I don't think that has anything to do with being siblings. Again with any dogs you can have the separation problems. I grew up with two Beagles they were not siblings two year age difference but if one went to the vet someone had to stay with the other because they got upset and stressed when one left. This doesn't happen with all dogs and it doesn't happen just because there siblings.
