I am thinking about getting another yorkie... I would love to get another yorkie but I not sure if I want a female or another male. I have heard that 2 males might not be a good idea. Please let me know your experiences with either 2 males or a male and female. Again, I am just thinking about getting another one. The breeder said that yorkies are like potato chips, you can't have just one, and I think that she may be right! |
I don't have any troubles with all mine. Potty training is a little easier as the older ones seem to teach the youngins.:) |

Your boy will also get along well with a girl so it's really whatever you prefer. (it's the 2 girls you sometimes have to watch out for). Dogs are really like people and have different personalities, I would suggest you look for another puppy that has a personality that will fit in with your current baby. :) Teresa |

I have a little yorkie mix female and recently added a yorkie male. It all depends on the individual personality of the dog and the way in which you introduce them. Bella is very friendly, however, she can be very territorial. She doesn't like overbearing dogs, so it worked out because Rocco is generally very calm and docile. However, if you're not looking to breed I would make sure one or both is spayed/neutered (and preferably both from different breeders). We had Bella spayed awhile back, and after Rocco gets his boosters he will be neutered as well. Good luck on your search for a new baby! :D Having two is a lot of work at first, but I quickly got over the stress of it all..having two is just so much fun!! |
Congratulations! How exciting for you. For the most part, it's personal preference. Of course a boy and girl to "play dress up" would be way too much fun. I have three males and I don't have a problem with them -- they do get a bit "snippy" with each other occasionally, but once it's over they best friends again. |

I visit over my dad's often (sometimes 2 or 3 nights at a time) and they have 2 dogs -- a male and a female, plus Jackson when I'm there. Jackson gets along MUCH better with the other male and they are best buddies. The female & him have gotten in many more spats and fights and don't play as much. Jackson seems to play rougher with boys though, they like to wrestle a lot and play tug of war, etc. It's definitely less work on me being over there with other dogs because I don't really have to entertain him... they entertain themselves. When it's just me and Jackson, he definitely requires much more attention. On the downside... he picks up on their bad behaviors and barks a lot more than usual, etc and it often feels like a zoo over there, LOL. Sometimes it's nice to just go home to me and Jax. :) |
I worried about that with Hot Rod. He's very possessive of me and is very much alpha. That was a major factor in getting a little girl as well as I wanted to be able to put bows in her hair. lol |
If you are happy with Louis's breeder, I would contact the same breeder. Although just because they are related doesn't mean they will have the same personality. |

I've heard a lot of people say that you should have one of each sex, instead of two of the same. We listened to them because we originally had Bandit who is a little possessive and has aggressive barking issues. However, as soon as we brought our female into the mix (after a few days of Bandit giving her the cold shoulder lol) she was the boss!! Nala mostly plays with male dogs (our yorkie Bandit, Jackson (Britsters yorkie) and our friends black lab) Overall, I really think it depends on the dogs. |

I suggested that, in case you did plan to breed them. That way, the gene pool would be more spread out, if that makes sense. That's great you plan to spay/neuter! |

LOL That's exactly why I got a girl first-I love to dress her up, although I don't do it as much lately. |

I am considering adding another myself . I have a male just over a year old . Very protective or posessive , whatever you call it . He is my first yorkie ever. I love him much . He is very submissive to my blue heeler that is female (outdoor dog) but I worry how he would act if I added another . I have the opportunity to get a yorkie/poo in March . Female . I am considering as that is what I actually wanted in the beginning . But I hate for Max to not like her . Or have real aggression issues . He has those now with my son who is 14 . All he has to do is walk past my chair while Max is on my lap and wow its on ! I dont know how to correct that behavior . Any ideas on that would be greatly appreciated . And its also when Max(yorkie) is on my bed and my son walks in the room . I am trying to get ideas from you all . Please Help ! |
