Question Would getting a third Yorkie ruin the bond between the two I have?

I have two male Yorkies. They are both a year old (one is just 1 month older and I only got them a month apart from the same breeder). They're very close. I've been thinking about adding a female (both my males are neutered and she would get spayed). Would this throw a wrench in the relationship my current two have now? One (the first one) loves every other dog he meets. The second one usually keeps his distance (and sometimes even growls) at other dogs when he first meets them but once he gets to know them he is fine with them. But he doesn't play with any other dog except my other one. My first one will play with any dog. Would getting a third be a bad idea? Also, is there a certain timeframe when getting a third would be better? As much as I want another, I don't want to get it right now. Ideally I would wait about a year but I worry that by the time they're two they won't want a bouncy puppy around. I had a Yorkie before them who died at 15 years old and the older he got the less he tolerated other dogs. I waited too long with him and then I knew I wouldn't be able to get a second. That's why I got my current second so close after the first. What do you all think? Yorkies are addictive!
