1 or 2 Yorkies...How many Yorkies should I have My Harley is 9 months old and I am seriously thinking about getting another Yorkie. Harley is quite a handful but has just stole my heart. I wanted to check with those of you that have multiple Yorkies to see if you think it is much harder having more than one. I want to make the right decision for me and Harley. I know its a lifelong committment. Any suggestions or comments on having 1 or 2 Yorkies? The good? the bad? the ugly? |
I have 2 dogs ( not yorkies but still ) and Im so much happier with 2 dogs and so is my first pup. He always has someone to play with now ! And whenever im out of the house someone is always there with him! If you dont have an extremely busy life two dogs are fantastic! :) |
The more, the better! :D |
You should have at least three dogs ~ minimum! |
Its more expensive, thats the only bad I can think of. I really dont think its any harder having two than one except you cant put two in a carrier and take them places with you. On the positive side they would have companionship and you would have 2 furbabies to love |

Imo.... the more the merrier!! The only real concern you have to mull over is can you afford to keep them all healthy; vets bills, food, vitamins, supplements etc. |
Oh, honey.... you can NEVER have too many Yorkies (as long as you can financially provide for them)... :p |
We have two and I recommend at least that many. Yorkie's are social little ones and they need a playmate IMO. Laddy was such a handful until we got Lolita. Now he has someone to play with when ever he wants (He wears mom and dad out fast :p) In general he just seems so much happier. I am not sure I could of done another puppy at the same time but Lolita is 5 and a rescue and has been a dream come true. |
I really want a 2nd one also. :aimeeyork:aimeeyork |
I really think having more than one is better for THEM. Someone mentioned cost, and that's the biggest factor for most. I love having all mine around!! |
I would never have just one dog.We have 4 a shepard mix that is 14,a lab who is 12 and 2 yorkies one that justed turned one the other is 5 months. It does cost alot more but worth every penny. |
You can never have just one. :) Be careful though.....yorkie fever is very contagious. :D |
Having two has been a blessing for us and it's been great for the dogs. There's never a dull moment with these two little bundles of energy. I just would wait until your first one was potty trained before you took on another one. I think it's easier training one at a time and they need undivided attention. And of course the extra expense of vet bills is a big consideration. Other than that, having more than one is yorkie heaven! |
If you have two, they will live longer and be healthier due to the exercise they get and having a companion. Yes, it is more expensive and the daily brushing becomes time consuming, but it is worth it. |
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! :p 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 ! :D 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 :thumbup::thumbup: |
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:D 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!;)) xxx xxx |
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. :aimeeyork :animal36 :aimeeyork :animal36 |
