Recommendations for a companioin breed? Hi all, I am in the process of brainstorming whether we should bring another dog into our home. Violet (our yorkie) is the love of our lives, but I feel like she may like a companion for when my daughter and I are away, etc.. While I truly do love having a yorkie, it took us a year and a half to get her potty trained, and I don't know if I have it in me to do it again with another yorkie right now. :aimeeyork I am wondering if you experts on here could suggest a breed that would be A.) a safe companion for her and B.) perhaps more easily potty trained? I am looking at possibly Havanese? I do prefer a non-shed dog like Violet. I'd be open to something slightly bigger, but not a large breed. Mainly because we live in a condo so no free outside play is possible, only leashed walks... leaving out very active breeds like labs, etc.. who need more outdoor exercise. Thank you all so much in advance!! Cheryl |
You didn't mention how big Violet is, but I have a Havanese, and Biewers, and a teapot yorkie that all play together. Small breeds aren't always that difficult to housebreak. The Havanese and the Biewers all are non-shedding, hypo-allergenic, etc. either would be a good choice as a companion for your Yorkie. |
I love Maltese too. They were bred to be companions, and they usually do well with yorkies. Their standard is both under 7lbs. And Maltese don't shed. They have a single coat just like yorkies. |
