I've been wanting to adopt a sister for cocoster (he's 1.5 yrs old) for some time because I don't want him to grow up as an only furbaby. I even bought clothes for her already (how can I resist? )

BUT today I received most recent pictures of the little girl and she looks so grown up! Now I'm torn because I cherished every mimute of cocoster's puppyhood and I won't have that with the girl. Am I being stupid?

First picture is cocoster and the second ones are of the girl. Do they make cute sister and brother?

Did anyone adopt an older puppy and feel sad about missing their puppyhood?

My little guy was 1 yr when I got him a few months ago. I kinda was sad to have missed so much of his life, but we have a new life together, and that's what matters. He loves me devotedly, and I adore him hugely! I love yorkies for the fact they are perpetual puppies because of size. He's my baby even though he is now a young Gentleman.
The girl is a beauty and your little guy is a doll. I think they will love each other and be great together.

She is So Pretty ... you should Follow Your Heart ( and I heard it say Get Her!) he and Coco will become Fast friends

She is so adorable! I love that little face! Go for it and have sooo much fun with them....

[slspackers]

They would be absolutely adorable together.

Thanks everyone for your encouraging words. and thanks for sharing your personal experiences. I really appreciate your honest opinions on this.

I'm going to see her on Saturday with Cocoster. I'm really hoping they hit it off!!

ANOTHER QUESTION: ok, this might seem like a stupid question, but I'm clueless. How much is fair price for her? According to the owners she is 7 months old, a little over 2 lbs, not expected to be over 3 lbs, not spayed yet. PLEASE let me know what you think!

I do not know about the fair price question but she is a cutie. Seth and Sasha were puppies when we got them and I think I could have skipped the potty training

oh yeah... that's a good point!

I think she is really pretty and would be a great addition PLUS 7 months is still a baby.

I rescued my Rickles when he was 3 1/2 years old and there are times I wonder what he was like when he was a baby and I really wish I had gotten him sooner before he was so mistreated but I couldn't love him more if I had of had him since the day he was born. We have a wonderful bond and I love him more than anything. If you really want the little girl I say get her, she still has some puppy left in her and I bet before long you won't know what you did without her.

Ginger is almost 7 mos. and looks just like that, looks like it could be her sister(LOL)..how much does she weigh? I think maybe the picture of her makes her look bigger than she is.. anyway, 7 mos. is still a small puppy, I'm actually wanting Ginger to hurry and get to a year old..go for it...

According to the owner, she weighs a lil over 2 lbs. I think you're right about the picture making her look bigger

LOL well, yeah, Ginger is a little over 4 and that puppy looks bigger than Ginger(so, it must be the pic)..you'd be surprised at how little she really is when you go to look at her..

I have adopted an older dog, he was not a yorkie but when I got him he was six. It was great he was potty and obedience trained and I do have to say he is about perfect and we bonded very quickly. I did not miss the late nights and the potty training O and the chewing.
