| If he already has a friend that comes over to play and they get along I am sure he would love to have a sister too. It might take a couple of weeks, but usually they do just great! If he was aggressive with the his friend then I would be more worried, but I think he would be just fine Good luck finding your new baby - if that's what you decide!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I always had only one at a time, but then I really wanted another yorkie when my pom was 8 (only other dog I had besides yorkies) I decided to go for it and got Cali, they didn't really interact much at all so I decided to get another yorkie and then another. Each time I knew it was right, so I say go with your gut and when you feel it is right you will know it. All of mine love being by me but also snuggle together. It is hard to take 3 anywhere for me.

| I went back and forth on this for awhile too. Roxie is our girl she is a princess and the sweetest baby. We took her everywhere, but she was always used to being with us and my parents dogs or my hubbies parents dogs, when we moved even though I was home she loved to be with me, that I could barely leave without her because she would cry. We added Ryder and it took so long for us to make that decision because I didnt want Roxie to feel that we didnt love her any less because we had another babe, but she has done very well. Now when we leave she is quiet and content- and during the day she is so happy to wrestle and be with him. It was one of the best decisions that we could have made! Roxie would be lost without her brother! Although it did take time to get them used to one another and adjust. I know exactly where you are coming from with the discouragement. It is so hard to find a good breeder with a pup that is just right for you, but dont give up!

| I don't think there's a dog alive who is more spoiled or loved than Kalina. We spent every second together. She sleeps with me, etc. But then we got Matty and they are just fine with each other. Now I have two to spoil.

| Hi, They keep themself busy. They play with each other. They play with toys and they sleep. When I sit that's when I get attacked. They love to be on my lap. So the ones that can jump lay next to me on the coach and the others lay around my feet. They love to be close. I love to see them play!! They are really good. I think I'm lucky. I guess I have the time for them because my children are grown up. They are also animal lovers. So we try to do family outings with our doggie family. |

| We bought 2 yorkies, male and female, from someone I know just had them to breed. They were not from the same litter, but had been together from 6 weeks on. They were 1 1/2 when we got them. It was actually not much more work to take care of 2 as it was to take care of 1. They went on vacation with us, and to family houses and were just our babies. In Dec, Harley was attacked by a big dog and died. Isabel looked so lost without him; she had always had Harley there to dominate, play with, sleep with, snuggle, he kept her eyes clean! We started keeping our Lab in the house so she would not be alone during the day. About March, I started looking for another yorkie for company for her. I found an ad from a breeder for a 10 month old boy, neutered, microchipped all shots for $500. I researched her web site, she was not a backyard breeder. She actually bred for show. She said he was being trained for show, but he just didn't have the personality so she put him up for sale. Now, Isabel was always my baby; in my lap, slept next to me - always with me. Moses (the new puppy) broke his leg the 2nd day I had him. I had to keep an eagle eye on him to make sure he did not further injure his leg while it was cast. So, poor Izzy had to take a back seat. She looked so pitiful at times, but what could I do? He had to have attention. Mosey is healed now (his leg was amputated) and now I am trying to give Isabel all the attention she missed for 2 months. But, they play together, she has someone to dominate again. She gets the back of the chair now, Mosey can't come up there. So, long story short, 2are best. They do keep each other company, they do relate to each other. I would never have just one yorkie. To me, they seem lonely - they are such people dogs. Such babies, sweeties. |

| i have only one yorkie, and we are doing very well. in the past i had spoiled my puppies so much, this time i have gtaken a different approach, Zoe sleeps in her own bed at night, and i dont feed her table food at all, i want to keep her as healthy as i can. She gets along well with her skin sister and i think one is enough for me, good luck in your decision. |

| Sorry to hear about your yorkie's leg. My Layla lost her leg also. It's been a week since her surgery. She fell the wrong way. I can't beleive how well she is doing. She wants to play and run. I have to keep her confined. She still has her stiches. She starts to cry when she see her brother and sisters play. When she gets upset because she can't play I have to keep her from the others so she won't see them. The vet tells me she will be jumping around real soon. I'm a nervous wreck. I'm not looking forward to that. I'll be so worry she will hurt herself again. Does Mosey jump around? |
