Two Better than One??? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

YorkiesX2 · 08-31-2005, 04:07 PM

I got my male at 8 weeks old and my female I got at 6 months old and they also have very different personallities. He love to play and my female just wants to be held... they are the same age from different breeders and get along about 75% of the time...I love them both but I am considering getting another one that is more playful so my male has someone to play with when my female says thats it go away.

I have 3. My male and female are 2 months apart, different breeders and they get along fine. He is much more playful then her at times and she puts him in his place. I just got a smaller female who is a year apart in their age and she rules his roost! Tells him like it is. Charlie and Paisley are almost 2 and Cini is almost 1. They all 3 get along, though. The more the better

I have two little girls and they are about two months apart in age...we had Magic almost fully potty trained when we brought Sailor home and it was an adjustment at first...the potty training had to start over, but within a couple of weeks, Sailor was following in the foot steps of her bigger sister...we knew what worked and what didn't and things were alot smoother....I think getting two was the best decision ever, they love to play with each and are almost inseparable now...now I am thinking about a third one in a year or so!!!

I have also heard often that a kitten makes the perfect low-maintenence companion for your dominant little Yorkie.

I have enjoyed reading this thread...since I decided today that I too am going to get a second puppy. Deb will be 4 months old on Monday and the new puppy will be here in about a week and she is 11 weeks old. I am nervous about the prospect and excited too. I figured that since we havent gotten the potty training thing down yet, starting over wont really be much different and Deb will have a playmate!!!! I can't wait!!

Mickey was born April 15 and Minnie July 9th of 2004 we got them both at 8 weeks old . We got Mickey then looked for a girl. then found her They got along great and was both very young. We was still working on potty training Mickey when we got minnie and she learned first. Im so glad we got them both about the same time. I think it was good for them to have each other. That way they always have some one to play with and are never lonely.

I like it! It is a very calming name when you say it or thing about it. I know it has a meaning but I cannot remember what it is...

I had a wonderful yorkie for 10 years. She died this last June. I have never felt such grief in my life but I wouldn't trade our time for anything but I think I learned that just one yorkie makes for lonely time. My husband & I both work and so it was hard for her. So....a week ago, we went and bought 2 pups. they are so cute but they are crazy. The female Dee sleeps on top of Sam all the time. I just love them and if I don't kill them, we will have a great time.
