| When to add furbaby #2 This is a premature question, as I have not gotten my first furbaby yet. I am still in the learning stage, and have been lucky enough to find YT before blindly buying my baby. I have been here a short time, and one of the many things I have learned is, yorkies are like chips...you can't have just one. So, I'm curious to know, how long should you wait to get another? Does it really make a difference? Angie |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | When your done with potty training the first. I think it's so hard if you have to do two at the same time. I got Toby when Zoey was about 10 1/2 months.

| I waited 1 year from my oldest two, the potty training of the first one is the hardest, after the second, third, and fourth they seem to take after what the others do, so potty training was a piece of cake. After the first two I then waited 2 years for my third and then 1 1/2 years for my fourth, yes they are just like potato chips Jackson Gracie Tucker Rosey |

| I have a 5 yr old that I got 10 months ago and next month will be getting a 5 month old puppy yes Yorkies are definitely like Lays potato chips you can't eat just one! But although I have a 5 yr old yorkie (this is how things just worked out) If I had a choice I would get them closer in age to one another maybe a 6 month to a year age difference. I think it helps when they are both in the puppy stage together, but as another post said, do yourself a favor and let the first one be housetrained first. (or close to it for Yorkies because they are harder to train anyway!! When are you getting your yorkie? |

| Zenzele- As I said right now I'm learning. I'm hoping to get her in Feb. I 've been researching breeders, and thought I found one. Well someone just posted some not very nice things about her yesterday. So now I'm back searching again. I never dreamed it would be this difficult. Breny- No way can I jump in and get two. I'm really nervous just thinking about raising one. I'm afraid I'm going to do everything wrong. I think I want to get a puppy first, then get one that's a year or so old (as I think someone mentioned). How does that sound? Thanks ladies for your comments! Angie |
