Is 2 Better Than 1???? Hello all - I have been seriously thinking about getting another yorkie. I wanted to know about anyone who decided to get another yorkie and how the change was for their household. Was the change for the better or did it cause any major problems? My main reasons for wanting another one is because my sebastian is at home all day by himself because of my job. It hurts to have to leave him but I have no other choice right now. Another reason for wanting another one is because sebastian absolutely loves to play and I thought it would make it more interesting if he had someone to play with. He just turned two and I thought it would be a good time to invest in another one. The only issues I currently have with him is the barking and occassional mishaps with peeing but we are making progress. So, do you think 2 is better than 1? would love to read any comments, stories, or suggestions. Thanks!! |
I can't really help I haven't got my 1st one yet! Sry |
i have 1 as of rt now and looking to get #2 just so martini has a play buddy because she is always with some1 but she lovesss dogs and i want her to have a brother so badly so im working on that lol |
I would say YES !!! You have 2 hands :) |
I always had one dog, then 2 1/2 years ago I got a second and loved having 2. They have each other when I am not home. Then I got a 3rd a year ago and they are closer in age and they play/fight snuggle together. I then got a 4th puppy put tragically she had a congenital kidney disease and passed after having her 5 weeks, But for the first few weeks Pixie and Dixie had a blast playing and snuggling. I did not find having multiples a problem except for vet expenses. I say go for it. |

I got Amy when she was 5 weeks old. Didnt know zip about them. Then I got Samantha when she was 6 months old and Amy was 6 months also. I NEVER regretted that decision!!! Amy and Samantha were the best of friends and they always had each other when I was at work. they went everywhere with me. They loved to hike and swim and play with their toys. They were my 2 true loves of my life. GET TWO!! |
Yessss Hi, 2 sounds like a good age to bring in another one. I waited until Zander was a bit over 1, I wanted to make sure that he was potty trained so the new one would learn from him, and that he understood the command Quiet, so that the new one would not take off barking when he did it. In July 2007, we brought home, little bundle of energy! Jazzie!! Zander came to LIFE, he was sooo happy to have a pup chase him and he chases her, and they play, and they snuggle and best of all She learned to potty so much quicker than he did, ;) phew! The bell on the back door for her to ring is a major plus too. Give treats immediately after pup going 1 or 2. Jazzie has brought life, laugher, fun into our home, I would not change a thing, I'm in love :D. My hubby had said nooo, to a new pup. I smiled, eventually I came home with Jazzie and surprised him, his reaction - what! did you do??!! she sat on his lap and licked his hands, oooh please, he melted like butta' !! :D I've caught him cradling her like a baby!! :thumbup: |
Yep, and 3 are better than 2..LOL |
ok so u are all making me want another one more and more everyday lol |
2 is definately better, I never thought I could love another furbaby as much as Maggie, but as soon as Bailey came into my life I couldn't imagine life without the "Puppies-A-Pair"!:aimeeyork :aimeeyork |
I started out with one. Then got a second one. Then a third one. Now, a fourth one. You get the idea! Yes, having more than one Yorkie is the best! |

:thumbup: It's nice to have a buddy for them when no one is home. It took me a while to find the fight buddy for Chip though, I was super picky because I wanted to make sure I got the right one for him. My criteria was for his future buddy to be a boy, about the same age, size, temperment. Luckily, it all worked out with Harley. Now they are best buds, its like they enjoy having each other as a roomie. |

OH YES...you need 2 Yorkies...like potato chips..can't eat you 1! |
I would never have just one dog.. when I got my first yorkie rescue I was called three weeks later asking if I wanted the second one.. I was not sure as I had not had a dog in years.. but I took her.. they were best of pals, I never felt quilty about going to work. Then one died, I ended up with yet another dog. Then number three so I did not ever have a dog alone being sad ever again. I am not sure who was worse, us or the dog being alone and lonely. Now I have 4 LOL Nothing changed and if it did it was for the better. pooh's mum |
We first adopted Zada when she was 14 months old, but felt so sorry for her being alone at times so when she was 6 months old we adopted her first cousin, Azrael, who was 5 months old from the same breeder and they actually jumped into each others arms. They remembered each other. They are so close and love each other so much that they won't be out of eye shot of each other. They are both 3 years old as of Dec. 5th and Jan. 16th, and on Dec. 21st adopted Raziel who was born Sept. 5th. She is a live wire and dearly loves to play with her sisters and all the toys. She has shown them how to play and have a great time. I really think no matter how many you have, (well up to a point I guess :rolleyes: ) each one will bring something new and different to the family. It's fun, it's amazing and delightful! I wouldn't change a thing. |
I started out with just Toby (my first small, indoor dog) and even though I stay at home with him all day, I soon realized he needed another playmate/ companion/ furball more his size. When Toby turned one we found Shelby Rose from a YT breeder, Helen (Nolen's Yorkies -- I cannot recommend them highly enough!!), and she's been just perfect for him and our family. They are a year apart in age but she's a little firecracker and gets my lazy bones Toby up and moving, playing and running around the house. They are so fun to watch! We are so happy we got the second yorkie. Just like having kids, it's actually a lot easier having two than just one since they play together and keep each other occupied so much. |
I love having two and will never have just one |
1 is great but 2 is better! |
I would say definitely get another one. But first you have to figure out if you want a boy or girl. Is your boy neutered, how does he get along with other dogs? I have found that two males will sometimes fight, two females will sometimes fight but I don't ever have a problem with a male and female together. I do know that there are many people that have two males with no problem. If you are gone during the day you might want to look for a little older puppy or Yorkie. I am excited for you. Let us know when you make the big step. |
I'm getting my second Yorkie in a few days....the waiting is awful.:p We have wanted two for a long time. We tried adopting a Rat Terrier to be company for Ziggy and that was a disaster.:eek: Ziggy hated him and the dog was so hyper we had to return him. I've read that it's very important for the first dog to continue to be top dog...first to be greeted, eat, receive treats, etc so he doesn't feel abandoned or in competition. I hope Ziggy will like this new little boy....thank goodness he is a Yorkie, actually Ziggy's cousin. :aimeeyork |
I would say YESSSS because I wat a yorkie and a maltese. From being on here and seeing how cute they are, I will be saving up for Joey a playmate sooo Yes go for it! |
:thumbup: 2 is better than 1. My little Tumi is happier now since she has her sis Gracie to play with. Now i want the third one! hubby said i have to wait :mad: bad bad hubby! |
