I have had two for some time and love it. There are some potential problems to be aware of, but from my perspective nothing insurmountable.

We added a second when my first, Eddie, was 2 years old. Eddie was always the sweetest dog with no signs of aggression. Well, when we added 10-year-old Jack, I discovered Eddie was a toy hoarder. He started beating up Jack (or trying to!) when Jack even looked at one of Eddie's toys. I spent a lot of time and energy on it, but Eddie eventually learned to get along.

When Jack left us, I got a puppy, Jillie, when Eddie was about 5. Eddie started up the same old jealously. But I'd had the benefit of getting through the Eddie-Jack issues, so it didn't take long for Eddie and Jillie to get along. They are not lovey-dovey as so many Yorkies seem to be around here, but they get along and Eddie no longer tries to fight.

It's been troubling at times, but the benefits have far outweighed the negatives. Plus, I think Eddie has a loose wire that you don't see in other dogs. You may not have any problems at all.
