Hey all,

So, we're considering adding a new Yorkie pup to our pack but unsure on gender at this point. We've had 3 dogs for a while now, but recently we lost our old golden retriever to cancer. So, looking for a new 3rd, but don't want to disturb the balance.

We have a 1 year old neutered male Yorkie and a 5 year old spayed female bull mastiff. The mastiff is a sweetheart and she and our Yorkie play together all the time, she's always gentle with him even though at first we were scared to death because she's so big. But they have been the best of buds for the past year with no issues at all.

From what I've read so far, it's probably better to get another male having the Mastiff. Have heard that 2 females in the same household can lead to problems, and given the Mastiff is a big dog, even if she's a big lovable moose, we are kind of taking that advice pretty seriously.

So looking at a male, but not sure how 2 male Yorkies would get along. Any opinions, thoughts?
