The overwhelming majority would say, "Go for it!"

that is the TRUTH

That also can't be more on the mark! So as long as you own your own home, no neighbours within miles (decreases the chance for complaints), no city regulations/restrictions, no mortgage to worry about (which means no chance of having to downsize and relocate to a less pet-friendly situation), the time to dedicate to cleaning and more cleaning to keep things sanitary, then having a dozen yorkies shouldn't be a problem! If you have the time and energy to keep up with them, all the more power to you!

If anything god forbid should happen to you, and there will definitely be somoene to take over the care of your little ones, then all the more better. You'd be in yorkie wonderland!

Of course, you're just looking to get two, not twelve. LOL. For myself, I forfeited my deposit on a little girl immediately the next morning after I got what I thought was the "boy" I wanted.

I didn't want to be caught overwhelmed with two little ones to care for as I would have been due to pick up the other girl at about a month's time. But I had intended to have introduced a young pup to our senior dog to liven up her life, unfortunately, the timing wasn't right for us until it was too late.

Chance does the same with kisses and hugs. She is jealous of my nephew, if you hug him she won't stop barking until you pick her up.

LMAO!!!! This is hilarious!!

To the OP...I'm so happy you started this thread...I have been thinking about another also..but I'm not doing it. The economy stinks and I spend enough on Snick already!! I can't...maybe later!!!

I'm still giggling over the quote above...hahahahahhhahahahaha "Oh it's you" hhahahaaaaaa

Out of my dogs, I only have the one yorkie, of course, I have the 2 biewers also, just do like me and keep adding them.

When my senior pug dog passes away, she will be replaced with a Yorkie. When my kids grow up and move out of the home, they will be replaced with Yorkies.

Guess you know my answer huh?

Wonder if I could get away with replacing the hubby with a Yorkie...

TOTALLY kidding, but Yes, I want a couple/few more Yorkies in the future.

Usually a female will bond to a male human more and a male dog will bond to a female human more!

aeliason7 · 03-16-2009, 11:01 AM

Well, because of your overwhelming responses, we decided to get another one! We put the deposit on a 6 week old female over the weekend and we can't wait until we can take her home! Thanks for all your help!!

katiekid · 03-16-2009, 11:45 AM

I wanted to get another when Katie was a baby too. Having wanted a yorkie most of my life and finally getting one- i just wanted to keep adding. Katie is now 10 months old and the housebreaking is getting real tiring. I am glad that I decided to wait until Katie was housebroke- then I will know who to blame (LOL)

Prissy, our sweetie-pie toy poodle, is 7 years old and we were concerned when we brought home Jasmine (yorkie), she will be 12 weeks old in two days, but Prissy is having a blast now with Jasmine. At first she was jealous, she has always been the only "doggy/people" in the house, but now she is acting as young as Jasmine. Prissy has also helped in house breaking Jasmine, b/c Jasmine does everything her big sister,Prissy, does. They are a joy to watch playing together.
