Before I got my 2nd yorkie, I worried about these exact same things. Even though Hobbs is obsessed with other dogs and animals, he was jealous once he realized that Hootie was staying for good. Hobbs did get pissed and peed on the carpet a couple of times while he was getting used to Hootie, but by the 2nd week of having Hootie, everything was perfect! Hobbs was a really big influence in helping potty train Hootie. I actually think potty training Hootie was easier because we just took her and Hobbs out together and she would do whatever Hobbs did. I love having 2 yorkies. From now on, I will always have 2. I love that they are now the bestest of friends and that they keep each other company when we're not at home. I don't feel so guilty anymore about leaving him to go out to dinner at night sometimes, either. I highly recommend 2. Your original yorkie may be jealous at first and may get pissed and pee on the floor a couple of times, but in the long run it is so worth it. Hootie and Hobbs are now inseparable. They are both very well potty trained. Hobbs is 1 year old and Hootie is 5 months old. We got Hootie when Hobbs was 8 months old. |
