| One or Two Yorkie Babies We bought a brother & sister on April 7th - they're 5 months old now. They are each other's best friend & have a wonderfull time together. Even though they're not mature yet he is "getting interested" in her. We'll take care of that when they're old enough to be spayed & nutered. As for potty training - It's a little frustrating. If you don't see who did what - you don't know who to praise or who to fuss at. All in all I'm very glad we have both of them. |

| I vote 3 babies No seriously, they will be forever buddies. To keep eachother company, to keep eachother warm, and to have a playmate. I say go for it, you will only get another one soon enough anyway when you see how loveable these little boogers are. Good luck and post pictures!!

| Hmm I dont know about this I am torn sorry!! I love having just one! Its a lot easier and I can give all my attention to pnut! I take him every where bc with just him it is a piece of cake! He loves just being by his self, he gets all the love and attention. I would love to have more dont get me wrong, but I am not that type of person =) and I am glad I know that lol

So she maybe an only child but she gets out and about and socializes well. I guess its like when you have skin kids and you want to enjoy the first one for a while lol

| it all depends on you ofcourse..personally i would love to get two when we got our baby i wanted to get her sister too coz the breeder wanted us to have the other one but at the time we couldnn't afford two. personally i think it would be good since the puppy wont be lonely being alone on a new place and would have someone to play with that's not human..at the end of it all i think its all up to you if you're up for the challenge..

Hehe I know! I did have another yorkie at a time..Pigpen!! We got him when pnut was about 1 1/2 and It wasnt working out, pigpen was soo hyper and not just cuz he was a pup lol. He was 9 months and always wanted to play always wanted to play with pnut, I noticed pnut was not even acting like himself anymore like pigpen was buggin him. Pigpen HAD to go on walks or he would chew up the base board lol! So I had to find pigpen a new home. IT hurt sooo bad!! But I found him a great home with a stay at home mommy and a big grass backyard(gated) and 3 little skin brothers to play with!! I actually went to visit pigpen to see how he was doing about a month ago and all my grief and depression went away when I saw how happy he was, I hate to say it but it looked happier with his new family!! So thats why I am sticking to 1 pnut!! I tried having 2 and I dont know if it was just pigpens personality or what, but I know pnuts personality and I know that he is a loner!!! As long as he has me he is fine!!

Yes I am very happy with the choice I made with pigpen, it was extremly hard at the time and I doubted me being a furbaby mom....but It was the right thing to do I honestly think some yorkies want to be the only baby in the house! If you already have one furbaby and they are over 1 year old, and you want to get another one, just think about it! Think about the furbaby personality you already have...and make the right choice...just bc you want one doesnt mean your furbaby wants a brother or sister Thats my advice

| As long as you get them neutered I'd go for it. They will learn from each other especially potty trained. If you give treats and lots of praise to the one who goes first the other will see that, and want the same. That's how I've always housebroken mine and it works for me. I think you'd really be happy with two, because you can teach them together rather than train one, and seven months later when you get another you have to start all over. Best wishes. Can't wait to see their pictures.

| Go for TWO. I had the chance but since I already had a boy when I was searching for a girl, I was afraid THRER would be too much. Big mistake...three would have been great!!!

| If you really can afford it, two is better. I am wanting a second doggie, and I wish that I could have got my ollie a playmate from day one. However, financially, I dont know if I would have been prepared for 2 vet costs, grooming, etc.... and you can't slack on the vet stuff... sometime's ollie's hair goes a couple weeks longer than I would like for a hair cut to save a few $, but he always has to have his shots, interceptor, etc. If you know you won't short change the health bills of your doggies, then get 2! |

| I started out with one 17 1/2 yrs ago. But she seemed to be so lonely when I was at work that I got a second one to keep her company and I'm so glad I did. They were the best of friends. I lost the 16 yr old in March and I can tell a difference in how the other one is acting now but of course she is 17 1/2 yrs old. If you go to my album there is a pic of them sleeping together in their bed. My vote is to get two. |

| I had one for almost a year, then went and got another. I am glad I have 2 bc they are the same size and they play very well together. We have 4 dogs total--the other 2 are bigger, it's funny to see a 3lb dog trying to play with a 30lb one. I would totally go get more if my hubby wouldn't kick me out, lol!!!! But on a serious side, the expense is a big thing--they have dental issues and will need yearly cleaning as they age, plus all the routine stuff. Other side is si they are little, so it's the least expensive medication size. Good luck making the choice!!! |
