Choosing A Yorkie: One or More?
You can choose to have just one Yorkshire Terrier. He will, eventually, be spoiled. But that's okay!
If you are planning to have more than one Yorkie in your family, it's best to get them at the same time. That way, they will not have territorial issues of a new animal coming into the house. Also, if you have two or more puppies, they are able to take care of each other and help each other growing up. When they are home alone, they will have a play mate and will not be as lonely. Leaving on a TV or radio can always help make them feel more at home.
If you choose to add a Yorkie with one already grown, it's advisable to choose a puppy as the 2nd Yorkie. That way, the older one can help the puppy grow. Just remember not to take away any "rights" of the older Yorkie. Retain the first Yorkie's rights and do still pay attention to it. That will help the transition for the older Yorkie as the new Yorkie comes into your lives.
To choose the sex of the Yorkie, remember that if you have one male and one female, they will want to mate, especially when the female is in heat. If you are not trying to breed, you can get two of the same sex, either two boys or two girls. That will avoid this problem.
