| How do I convince her? I know this is usually the other way around...I want to get a female Yorkie and my wife doesn't. I've been as sweet about it as I possibly can but she remains steadfast in her refusal. Any suggestions?

| Well yes, it is a little different, lol. Does she not want a yorkie, another dog at all or just not a female?

| Toby can at times be a "handful" and I think she might feel overwhelmed. I've tried to convince her that having a female Yorkie might divert and calm some of Toby's shennanigans.

| Zhoie is my 1st Yorkie and I'm fortunate as she is a very laid back little girl. She's quiet and was so easy to train. I must say, reading about some of them, they can be a real handful. I often think about getting Zhoie a companion, but I'm afraid I will jink the laid back life we have now, lol. How old is Toby? Maybe it's his age and he hasn't calmed down yet. Is he neutered?

| No, Toby is neutered. I guess I'd like a female because even though Toby is ours, he's kind of my wife's little boy and maybe a little girl could be mine.

| Tell her your little boy needs a friend, that is how it worked at our house. I got the female first and then the boy.Even though Tessie was a gift for me she ended up loving my husband more so that is one reason I got a boy. Maybe she is worried that he will be jealous. I had this same concern, but now I have 4 yorkies. If it helps any my breeder where I got 3 of my Yorkies lives in Douglasville Georgia. Good Luck

| Tell her that the 2 dogs will play together and entertain each other. Also I just noticed your signature. Your Buddy Boo was 23? That is incredible. Tell her you know how to take care of dogs!

| Talking about getting a friend for our little buddy, I'm thinking if I should get a girl for my Tezel. He is coming to 5 months and he is afraid to be left alone. The moment I step out from the room, he will be crying out for me and he will abandon all his toys and getting a bit nervous as though I won't be back anymore. As I'm not an experience parents to yorkie, I'm still considering if I should get another puppy. I don't want to end up not knowing how to handle 2 puppies and create more problems to Tezel. Just 1 questions, what is the best age to get yorkie a friend? If I get another yorkie later on when he is older, will that be a problem for him to adapt? |

| what are her objections?? is it that she thinks she will be the caregiver?? the extra work?? as far as who the yorkie will "favor" it is usually the girls love the dads and the boys love the moms. although that isn't always tru. I have 2 boys.. one favors Mike.. one favors (is OBSESSED with) me. of the girls.. one favors Mike.. the other favors me.. UNLESS they are scared of something.. then they ALL favor me!
