Anyone own just one yorkie? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Zeus08 · 01-29-2010, 10:21 AM

Yes one is plenty! I love Zeus more than ever and have crazy moments where I think I want another. Then I get rational and think with one I can spoil him and afford his vet bills if they arise but two would be difficult to afford and spoil. Besides Zeus is so laid back and calm I am afraid of getting a hyperactive Yorkie.

I owned just one...for a very short time.

RoxyLuv · 01-29-2010, 10:29 AM

We have just one, & I love it that way. We take her with us alot when we can. She's got some really good habits. Another one might change the chemistry & I'm not willing to go there. Have had multiple pets before, and I'm thrilled with just one.
Having said that, I do weaken at the sight of another, but am determined not to mess with a good thing. Even dh weakened a couple weeks ago when we ran into a woman who had just gotten a new yorkie pup. I think I convinced him of all the good reasons to have just one. I hope!

Yes, I am content with owning just one Yorkie. I love the way my Yorkie showers me with love. I love lavishing all my attention on my Yorkie and Shih Tzu.

I have one Yorkie and I really would love another one. We also have a jack-a-poo who is 6 and has cost us a lot of money due to coming from a puppy mill which when my daughter got her we had no clue that pet stores were a bad place to buy a dog. So my husband says 2 dogs is enough.......I say for now

JonlyCajunQueen · 01-29-2010, 10:38 AM

I have 3 and they are the best of buddies....they have each other while we are gone...don't want them to be bummed because we have to work. LOL!

jackieblackwell · 01-29-2010, 10:48 AM

I have just one yorkie but am SO tempted to get another because I just love my little Bella girl. But since I have six other dogs (two lhasa's, two labs, and two chows), I think I will just stick with the seven I have. BTW they are all rescues except one of the labs.

yorkiepuppie · 01-29-2010, 10:52 AM

i just have one yorkie and the good thing about having just one is that we are really bonded and we are inseparable. i am getting another dog soon though, so we will see how it goes. (i will still only have one yorkie, i am getting a maltese)

Britster · 01-29-2010, 11:01 AM

It's just me & Jackson right now. I've toyed with the idea of getting another one since, well... since I got him. But yes, I'm content with just one.

I share a really strong bond with Jackson, he goes nearly everywhere with me that he can (family members homes, vacations, etc) We do trick training together and really enjoy ourselves. He gets to be with other dogs all the time (we go to the dog park 1-3x a week minus this cold weather we've been having) plus visits my dad's house once a week with their 2 dogs, etc. Also, he's honestly a really well behaved dog in general (most of the time of course) and really has no major behavioral issues and I worry that my next dog will be more than I can handle or am used to.

And while I'd love to have another one (and probably will in the future) for right now, I've decided I'm content with just one. Whenever I consider a 2nd, I think about all the things that me & Jackson do together now and how that would altered by adding another one and then I change my mind. He's my little buddy.

I only have one, Rocky, who is now 13. I lost my poodle about a year ago and since then, Rocky has been alone. I tried a poodle puppy after my poodle died, but Rocky was beside himself and I thought he was going to kill her. I had to take her back. As much as I would like I second dog again, he is sometimes so nasty to other dogs that I'm not sure it would work. I recently bought him a little furry squeak toy and it seems to have given him a new lease on life. He carries it in his mouth everywhere. Guess a toy works better than a real live dog!

Dar59 · 01-29-2010, 11:08 AM

Just one here... I love her so much!! Maybe once we retire we might get another for her. this picture was taken yesterday

Makes me smile every Day..

That's what I've got. I have a nice, laid back, calm yorkie. I love it!

Do I own 1 Yorkie? No
Best thing about owning 1? Getting more!

Mervinmous · 01-29-2010, 11:23 AM

I only have one, but my mom has 4 and I've grown up around yorkies all my life, so i'm used to being around multiples. As far as my little one goes, she's my world and i couldn't imagine giving my love and attention to anyone but her and her big kitty sister.

Darlene68 · 01-29-2010, 11:27 AM

I only have one, If I leave my place, Bailey goes with me, I never leave him home alone, so it is easy with just one. I do have to say that I take him over to my BF's almost daily and he loves playing with his two dogs, I would love to have another yorkie..some day!
