How old is your first Yorkie? My answers will give you variables that you will not know until you bring your new puppy home. You do not know how well the 2 will get along.

I have 2 puppies that are 11 months old and are litter mates so they actually get along splendidly. My 10 year old Yorkie gets along great with them, but differently.

As far as crating, I do crate my puppies together and will continue to do so as long as they are not fighting with each other, at that point they will get separate crates. My older Yorkie has his own crate, but he is rarely crated as he is more trust worthy left loose in the house when I leave.

Riding in the car I usually have a pillow on the floor of the front seat where my older dog is content to lay and then the two puppies are tethered on the passenger seat and they are happy to be there and share the seat well. I have a doggie seat but none of mine like to ride in it and prefer to be on the seat ( I have tethers for them).

I would consider putting them both in the same seat IF they will get along that closely for car rides. I would watch for jealousy with the older Yorkie though at first and don't make them ride together if it upsets the one as it won't help them to learn to get along. Some Yorkies just adore their new sibling from day one. Some learn to love them (as my older Yorkie did after a couple weeks) and some never want to share space like that. It will all depend on your dogs.

Good luck with the new one! My older one acted like I broke his heart when I brought twin puppies home, but after a couple weeks he loved them.
