Those that own 1 Yorkie

[Yorkieluv]

Within a few days of having Miko, we wanted another one!! They are so addictive But Miko ended up being very sick, and he needed a lot of attention. We wanted him to be the only one for awhile. It took us over two years to finally get another furbaby. We got a maltese. They are very sweet babies too!

I had been thinking very seriously about adding another Yorkie, until this week. I am babysitting my son's Maltese, and although they get along very well, it really cuts down on one to one time with Joey. I love our morning training sessions, but you almost have to crate one dog while you are training the other, at least until the other dog is trained. So this week no real training is taking place, just organized chaos. I guess I would miss the special one to one time we have, and I'm not ready to share this yet.

When Gus had a playmate, they played very rough together: zooming all over DD's apartment, including on top of the furniture, gang banging the cat when she was in heat, stealing each other's toys and treats, and on and on. I thought it would be best for him to be an only child for a bit since he came home with me. I might consider a playmate for him someday, but I think I'd only do that if I can ever get my yard fenced in so that they really have some room to run around. (I have a house with small rooms, but I have a huge yard - great for play but very expensive to fence in.)

I wanted to get another after a week of having Bella. But I am holding off until I am finished with Grad school. Or rather I keep telling myself that. I told my best friend that I want to have 5 and she laughed because she thought I was joking, but I was dead serious.

I'm addicted now and I need my fix.

We had Lily for about 10 months before we thought about getting #2 Lily is a yorkie mix and was sick and had surgery so she demanded a lot of attention. As soon as she was all well we immediately started thinking about #2 because we really wanted her to have a play mate, and we wanted a purebred Yorkie. We have had Kingston about 7 weeks now and we love it they are already the best of friends and he is a great baby, Lily is so much happier having a play mate.

Yorkieluv, my SIL has a Yorkie-Maltese mix. His name is Gibson, and he's very sweet. He just looks sorta odd: his coat is black all over, with a smidge of the Yorkie steel blue on the first layer of hair. He looks like someone used a frost-and-tip kit on his fur. If I ever get the chance, I'll take a pic and post it.

Same here! My little guy is so expensive. Although the food isn't an issue because he's not a big eater, but the vet bills - certainly are enough to prevent me from getting another one. :/ I'd love to have more but we just can't afford it.

My Yorkie Katie is obviously happier with her little pal Suzi.
We've only had Suzi a few days but the difference in Katie
is a pleasure to watch.

Our Buddy is the center of our home and we ALL love him so much!!! We decided that we needed another Yorkie and I spent months searching for the perfect little one for us. When I finally found her we were all so happy when I brought her home.....everyone was happy but Buddy!!!! Once Buddy realized that Lucy was here to stay ....he became so depressed and hid all the time. He would not eat or play with his toys. It completely broke our heart how sad Buddy was. We eventually found the most perfect home in the world for Lucy. Another YT member has her....Lucy is very, very happy with her mom, Belinda!!!
So as much as I would love to have another Yorkie....I'd rather keep our Buddy happy. Some Yorkies are meant to be an "only child"!!! lol But I am so jealous of those that have more than one Yorkie!!!!

GiGI is an only yorkie child but I have a 12 year old husky. I considered getting another one but I have decided to wait and getting a dog for the kids!! GiGi is my baby, almost my daughter. My youngest loves her but she is mine. I figure we would get a westie or soft coated wheaten. My older son wants an American Bulldog!!!

Derby is my main little man.....I love him so so so much. I never thought I would want another but guess what....we are getting him a baby brother and we are so excited. He was supposed to come today but he got sick in the car on the way to the airport so it has been postponed. Poor lil guy. I love him already and I haven't even met him. So we are going from one to two pups in our home. I know I will love them both equally and he is going to be Derby's puppy. Maybe I'm crazy but my pup is 8 months old and I think it is a great time to integrate a second. There is nothing quite like warm puppy kisses first thing in the morning.

We just got our precious one a week ago, but we are definitely wanting to expand much later! We want to spend as much time spoiling our little Bailey right now!

My husband was used to rather large breeds, ie: pit bulls, etc., and now he is absolutely in love with and addicted to Yorkies!!

I have had my Suzi for nearly three months . I am crazy about her. I want anther one too. However, Suzi is my service dog .I thought of getting anther, and just rotating their outside time.... You know, getting anther pure bred Yorkie.... They look alike, and know one would ever know. LOL. I would be afraid I'd get caught. So right now, I can't have anther.

I had decided to buy hubby a bassett hound for his b-day but he sd he would rather have a chihuahua so he would not worry so much about Gypsy being hurt by a bigger dog. So we are in the process of looking for a long hair chi. He would rather have a short hair male so if we do not get a long hair by mid Aug we will look for a short hair one. I would rather have another yorkie but can not afford one. The prices for a healthy one is so much.

I have always been a one Yorkie person...and that will undoubtedly continue. I will always have a Yorkie...but only one at a time. I know that I would never be able to properly care for more then one. So getting another, and then another is simply out of the question. I know in my heart that Winston is spoiled beyond belief...well loved...gets the medical and grooming care that he needs, and I am perfectly content with that.
I do admire those people that are able to foster or adopt rescues...but I am just not able financially to do so.
