I have a 15 year old Chihuahua girl and two Yorkies. Really doesn't matter what small dog you decided on to add to your Yorkie, you take the risk of calm, hyper and so on. Your decision should be based on do you want a dog that sheds. I've had Delsi for 15 years and love her dearly of course, but would never get another Chi because of the shedding. No hair in our sheets, car or on us. I would suggest sticking with the non shedding dogs, and preferably another Yorkie since they tend to play the same way with each other have so much in common.

Yes, shedding is not so nice, BUT for me there is something even more important than shedding.
chis has no smell....they can have a bath one in 6 month and have no smell, while with yorkies every 7-10 days is a must, or they became smelling very bad.
I also spoke with a guy who have many yorkies, malteses and chis, and he sad the same.
His malteses and yorkies smell, while chi have absolutely no smell.
For me its a huge thing.
