| Question for Yorkie Owners... I have a 3 year old yorkie and I want to get another baby soon. My question is, for those who have more than one yorkie, will the new yorkie change the personality of my older yorkie? Jojo is so friendly and has a great tempermant and we are scared to change his personality. If anyone has any advice, please let me know (my husband is scared to change our perfect little one) lol... I am trying to disprove his theory here.. Thanks! Denise & Jojo

| I have 8mo old and just got a new one on Christmas. I was afraid Zoie is my shadow and she might be jealous. She plays rough sometimes and I have to get after her. But she still is the same dog and so sweet. I think it depends on how they adjust to the new one just like a child when you bring home a new baby. I just make sure both my dogs get there time alone with me morning and night. Its like there own special time and that seems to work.

| Hi - I have two - soon to be three - and when I got Gracie it did not change Lillie a bit. Actually I believe it made her a better dog socially.

| My puppy hasn't changed Kalina's personality. She's still exactly the same, except she now has times when she plays more because of Matty Lu.

| Jojo should be greeted FIRST and fed first and treats first...because if not, he will look at the new baby as trying to take over as top dog. If you keep Jojo always first, it will help him to adjust and not see the new puppy as competition. I'm also getting a new baby boy in February and plan to do this for our Ziggy. I'm hoping he will love the new baby.
