I want another puppy but need some opions, please... - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We have 2 females and they are wonderful. They play together, sleep, eat and bark. No problems at all. No. 2 is much more affectionate than no. 1 and loves to cuddle. Could be personality or rank in our family - I can't tell...

I have 2 girls and they are ABSOLUTE lovebugs, they follow me EVERYWHERE i go, they love to be cuddled and kissed and babied with, they are always together and make a perfect team!
Ive had yorkies before including a male, he was precious DONT get me wrong and much of a baby, but he lived in his own little world, did what HE wanted to do and came for loves and kisses when he felt like it, he was a lot of fun to watch tho and very beautiful

My vet told me if I get another puppy/dog I should get a female so that there are not 2 males trying for the same territory.....so I think the female/male combo is good BUT you can look at awesome pairs like our very own Chanel and Cheri and how well they get along!!! Maybe bring Lexi with you and see how she reacts with the other puppies??

He does play with him throwing him toys back and forth, and I think playing a little to rough with him actually! but, I love him more!! Can anyone relate?

When we got our second girl I really, really expected that I would be her world just like I pretty much am to Ellie Mae...lol. But she almost immediatly attached herself to my daughter. It's so bad that when my daughter leaves or just spends the night at a friends house Destiny will just lay around and pout untill she gets back home. We try to love on her but it's like she's thinking "just leave me alone, I want Alyson"...lol. Go figure!! The ways of a Yorkie are very mysterious sometimes.

It is not uncommon for two same/sex yorkies to fight. So if you get a second female to love, just be prepared that the possibility exists.

My Chattie and Chizzie loved each other and played and slept together until Chizzie reached maturity and then the fighting began. The frequency and seriousness of the fighting is getting worse, so I am seriously considering parting with Chizzie. Chattie is my heart, Chizzie is my laughter, faced with this hard choice, I must keep my heart and share my laughter.

Ah Cindy~ How sweet the way you put that. I love your sentiments and you are so very wise!

Brittie123 · 07-27-2005, 06:07 PM

Hi Tricia! I went through the exact same dilemna before I got Emmy. I think it all depends on Lexie's personality. Is she dominant or jealous when other dogs are around are is she more of a submissive sweeter personality? Mia has always been submissive and ultra friendly toward other dogs, so another female worked well with her. However my mom's yorkie Peaches is very "bossy" and dominant and would probably not do well with another female, however does well with their male king charles spaniel because boys tend to be really sweet and let the girl push them around. Having Emmy has made Mia more assertive

but they compliment one another so it works.

Hope that helps!

I've read about this situation from a member's post to a link to puppy training. The reason Miko loves your husband more than me (even though he probably loves you equally!) is because he views your husband as the alpha and you as an equal. Dogs tend to want to be near the alpha because it makes them more comfortable and they feel like they don't have to worry about anything because they are not the alpha in that certain "pack". Hope that helps!

I have heard from other yorkie mums whom have lived with both males and females...that males are more protective and are always following (usually the adult female) around the house. Even if you just go to the bathroom they want to follow you to make sure you are okay. they will always sleep with one eye open (not literally

) to make sure they know where you are at all times. Whereas females don't follow when they don't want to, their girls! Females are more cuddley but I don't agree with that. Anyways, this is what I have heard and soon you may know the differences too. Also every dog has its own personality and there is ALWAYS an exception to the rule. good luck..let us know what you decide.

How true Mickey never leaves my side 24/7 and he is very protective of me, he is my little Shadow. He is not a lap babie but is like hooked to the hip. lol He stays very close and gives kisses lots. Minnie is my Lap babie but theres a difference I can get up and walk out of the room with her still sleeping. Mickey hes awake and right at my heels.

Lexie will be so excited to get sister or brother. As far as boy vs girl, it would be a hard decison for me to make. I have two females and one male and they all have such different personalities. When I got each of mine I just went to look for a yorkie and was lucky they had both and picked the one I liked the best. I didn't matter the sex to me as long as they were heathly. You can't go wrong with either.
