1 or 2 Yorkies...How many Yorkies should I have - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I brought into my life two weeks ago a new puppy. She is not a little Yorkie baby, however, she is a little pure bred shih tzu cutie pie. i'll tell you that it is a blast having two furballs around! my yorkie is now 16 nonths old and is really taken a liken to Miley Boo. They play together, chase each other, steal each others toys, it's so funny to watch them!

Suzi my Yorkie runs away from the little one, as Miley goes after her, then Suzi jumps up on the couch where Miley can't reach , it's as if they are playing tag. They are goofy.
Then when we get home, OMG, it's twice as much love . All the kissess I get from both! YaY ! It's wonderful !

The baby has actully taken to the potty pads quicker since Suzi uses them allready.
One issue is that the food , they both eat each others food > I can't stop them from doing so. Since Miley is a puppy I feed her baby kibble and Suzi goes for it , she does not need to be eating that stuff . But, then Miley eats her food, and the kibble is larger then hers. Go figure they would do that!
I absolutely love having 2 ! I reccomend it to everybody

I think having two is wonderful. It is so much fun to watch them play and interact with eachother. Yorkies are small enough that there is just enough lap room for two, or three, or four

I agree that it can be more expensive though. I would suggest having a little just in case of emergancies fund because you are twice as likely to have vet bills or accidents.

I have two and it's great! They keep eachother out of mischief when I'm too busy to play and watching them running around and 'wrestling' together just makes my day

It's very hard work (especially since I have a very big dog and two skinkids under five thrown into the mix!), but is totally worth it

I agree with what everyone else has said: if you have the financial means to take care of them and the time to devote then go for it!

Good luck with your decision! (I'm sure you'll make the right one!

Thanks for everyones input! I think I'm convinced that I NEED 2 furbabies but now I have to just convince my husband. I do like the advise of waiting until my first one is potty trained....he is almost there but still working on it.

And don't forget that dogs are pack animals.
