calling all mommies of more then one yorkie butt! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

barbiesMoMmY · 12-09-2007, 03:43 PM

I must say yorkie talk sure is addicting!

ANYWAY i have one baby who is now 6 months old. i've had her for about 4 months now. two weeks after i brought her home and started the dreadful potty training i started yearning for another one!! (they are just as addicting as yorkie talk) while i wouldn't say we have potty training down to a science YET we're getting pretty good at going where the pad is or at least the general area. SO i've been crossing my fingers and holding my breath trying to convince my fiance that BARBIE would LOVE a little brother!!

i see all the handsome little boys on here and get pretty envious!! haha. i think barbie would really benefit too! having a little brother she'd always have someone to play with! so i guess my first question is what do you guys think? is it too soon to start searching for my little boy? should i wait until barbie is better trained? is their really any difference between the sexes that you've noticed? AND my most important question is HOW DID THE MOMMIES OF MORE THEN ONE YORKIE GET SO LUCKY?! anyone have trouble convincing their significant other to let them get another? if so I NEED ADVICE!! he keeps telling me "not yet" or "a few more months"

I THINK I'M READY!!

I think the more the merrier. I have two little boys, and love them to death. I'd say you might as well get another one now, so they can grow up together. This way you get all of the potty training out of the way at one time.

Go for it! We've always had more than one dog, but Ginger and Bernie are the first twosome I've had that is close in age and the same breed. They are the best of buds and play, play, play. If you are going to get a second one, I think getting it now when they will be close in age is a good idea.

Good luck.

I have two girls...the first one was my idea, and the second one was actually his idea! He thought Emma needed a playmate and someone to keep her company, so we started looking around. We wanted another female-I wanted to pee pad train them both, and I didn't want to worry about a boy marking anything in the house. Also, my DH knew I'd dress up my little furbabies...he said if I was going to dress them up and do their hair, then they might as well be girls

My two are about 8 months apart in age-Emma was born in March 2006, and we got her Memorial Day weekend. Milli was born in late November 2006, and she came home in February 2007. Emma was potty trained reliably by the time we brought Milli home...I'm not sure, but I think I would have gone crazy trying to train both of them at the same time! At least now when we have an accident, we know who did it!

Honestly, I think there are pros and cons to getting them closer and farther apart in age...it will work both ways! Can't wait to see what you decide!

daisysis · 12-09-2007, 05:46 PM

I have 2 yorkies and a multi
I love watching them all play together and they do keep each other company. Now for convincing your hubby..tell him one for you and one for him..and then we are 4.. good luck..potty training never ends..

tinav · 12-09-2007, 05:49 PM

I have two Yorkies and wouldn't have it any other way. If I wasn't living in an apt right now I'd probably havea couple more

They are VERY addictive and so lovable.

We are going through the same delema! I got one and now I want another....and another...anddd annnotthhherrr...hehe. I think 2 is better then 1 twice the yorkie love, twice the yorkie kisses, and twice the yorkie madness!

barbiesMoMmY · 12-09-2007, 06:24 PM

hahaha seems like everyone so far is in agreement that barbie needs a brother!!! or, i need two yorkies to love!!

flutterby · 12-09-2007, 06:29 PM

I got two sisters as the same time and I'm getting a biewer girl in a few months.. My girls are already trained to a pee pad (they came trained! woohoo!) and I plan on training my new girl the same as well... But I definitely want to get all the puppy stuff out of the way at once instead of dealing with regression and not being able to adapt to a new puppy, etc...

I say go for it! lol

SarahandElisha · 12-09-2007, 06:32 PM

If you get a boy, please name him Ken! Pretty please!

I Love Bailey · 12-09-2007, 07:42 PM

I have two girls and they are very close. Bailey is 2 and Angel is 1.
I would never just have one again.
They play and cuddle up together all the time.
Where one goes the other follows.

i'd looove a biewer. absolutely LOVE! seems like there aren't any good breeders in my area

i've looked on numerous occasions, asked my vet and even the breeder i bought barbie from. no one knows anyone they can recommend. i've seen one in the paper ad but it seemed sketchy they had QUITE a few breeds

hartygirl · 12-10-2007, 03:23 PM

I'm glad you started this thread. I have been on the fence about getting another yorkie for a while now. Reading the other posts helps a lot!
I think I am going to try and rescue one from the houston seizure if the dogs are rewarded to the state of texas tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed for those babies. If not there are some really great rescue groups here to try!
Good luck in your search!
