| I definitely think that having two is better than one. At first, I felt super guilty about bringing another dog in that stole all the attention from Franklin but as they have learned to get along, having a companion has really made him happier, I think.

| I found that two was better than one. Initially I had two brothers who played beautifully together. When I lost Merlin to illness, MacTavish became quiet and withdrawn with nobody to play with. A month later, I got Madeline and MacTavish was up and playing again. I believe it is good for them.

| I think so. I'm smitten! I think two keep each other company, but it's definitely more work. For me, though, having 2 is the same as I felt when I had 2 children. It's the perfect number.

| I defiantly agree, two is better......I felt so sorry for Jack, sometimes he seemed so lonely....Since Jake has been here they play and he they seem so much happier.....if you are able I would do it, the sooner the better so they can bond at an early age......Good luck!

| I have 2 sibling sisters. They are as different as day from night.One 10lb. one 5lb.s I can't imagine one without the other. The larger one-Fergie, plays with the socker ball bumping it with her nose and the smaller one,Binky, acts like her cheerleader cheering her on. Fergie is always tempting Binky to do things that are no nos. Never a dull moment. 2 is definately better. |

| We got Hallee 10 months after we had Gracie. They are great together. They are sisters. One of their parents are the same. They have totally different personalities and it is great to have them both. They have each other when we are not home and it is so fun to watch them play with each other. I don't know what they would do without each other. I would not change a thing about getting the both of them, their my babies.

| I agree with everyone else...When you have two, they can keep each other company and not feel lonely. I have a yorkie and a maltese and I couldn't be happier.

| eabsolutely. Yorkies are very social and they hate to be alone. If you cannot afford a second one, a kitten will do. |
