Anyone own just one yorkie? - Page 6 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Sandy is our one and only. He's a very socialised. We thought of getting him a playmate but decided to do that only when he's more than 1 1/2 years old as recommended by our breeder. To be honest, I don't think I'd be able to share my love with another dog. Sandy is exactly I've always wanted and he's very special to me

Sorry you had a bad experience with a new pup it must have been a difficult decision to find him a new home. I'm the opposite , I only want/ wanted another for Tia .not for me which probably isn't good enough reason to get one.

I have two, but both should have been "only yorkies"...because of their constant competition for attention....It just seems that one is not enough tho...

I have one, but my daughter has been staying with me - with her yorkie - and I must say one is easier. I like to take Willow with me wherever I go and two are much harder to keep track of. And when I am knitting in the evenings she snuggles in my lap where there is just enough room for her. It's just so easy with one - I'm going to keep it that way.

Isn't one enough?

I am content with one. I thought about another one but when I think about house training another one I quickly forget it! I can care well for one. More than one would be a stretch on the budget!

We had one... Roxie for several years then my hubby found Ryder and we rescued him and it was the best thing we have ever done! Roxie is my lover girl and I never thought I would love another like I love her but Ryder is the perfect fit in our family. He needed us and I think Roxie needed him there was no awkward adjustment it just worked... Roxie stopped having anxiety when we were gone and loves Ryder! We added Prince this fall and I was worried that he would mess up our two but he also found his place and I wouldnt have it any other way!

Well, I thought I was one of the few that only had one, I guess there are more of us than I thought. I sometimes think of getting another, but more as a pet for Joey, than for me. My two grown sons have dogs that come over weekly and visit with Joey, so he gets some playtime with other dogs. One of the things, I enjoy most with Joey is our training time, and its hard to do that when other dogs are around. I know if I weren't at home as much, I would want another dog for Joey.
