Yes, we are thinking around the beginning of the year. I want to get a male, because I feel it compliments females better. Plus I want a mommys boy since Coco is a daddys girl I just think boys are so cute but originally I just wanted a girl. I love my girl and don't want to bring another girl to overpower or dominate over Coco (Coco is so submissive). I think Coco is more daring and fun when boys are around. I have a couple of friends with boy yorkies and they are not that good with pottying (lifting legs, and not pottying in the right spots a lot of times). But I wasn't sure if that w as because of the owners or the gender. So I wanted to get a feel for that. I would get my boy neutered by 3-4 months, to avoid lifting the leg. I think by watching Coco he will probably learn as well. Do you think? Please keep the experiences coming, it's really helping me decide and learn.
