| Tell her that it will be good for your current Yorkie to have company while you both are away. Maybe if you know of someone who has a Yorkie you could "dogsit" for a while and then you both could see how the interaction will go. |

| Well, I can tell you how it happened for us. My wife loved Yorkies and I had no interest in them at all. I had Toy, a Wolf/German Shepherd mix, and didn't want another dog. So what does she do? She gets 'me' a Yorkie for my birthday!! I'm like, "what is this?", but it took just a few minutes for him to become my Dog-son. So, what's the worst she could do if you brought 'her' home a little girl? Wait, don't answer that. Bet it would only take a few minutes for her objections to fly out the window. Well, at least that's the way it worked out with me . Seriously, best of luck 'convincing' (wink wink) her and I look forward to pics of your new little angel.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Maybe you could arrange a playdate with someone who has a friendly female yorkie. It would be a good chance for you to see how much your boy enjoys playing with others. And if he has a good time, how could anyone resist getting him a full-time friend? |

| If your little boy is still a pup, maybe she's concerned with having to potty train again. Maybe consider an adult/older dog, possibly a rescue? Potty training is already done for the most part, rescues are already spayed and health checked, and an older dog might be more of a calming influence on your wild man where another pup, even a female, might be just as hyper. |

| Huh I have one neutered male, one un-neutered male and an unspayed female andd a spayed female...I prefer boys over girls as in my experience a neutered male makes the best pet...females fixed or not exhibit more territorial and dominance-my un-neutered male only has an issue when a female is in heat...but that's my personal experience in my own dogs, my friends dogs, and from a couple breeders, behaviorist and my groomer...I'm sure you can find a list as long of people whom swear by the opposite. I also have noticed in my experience despite what ppl say men do better with female dogs and women do better with male dogs...again its all totally subjective, and my son and our neutered male are the best of friends. My females rule the roost here dominating the boys...of course the boys readily submit. Last edited by concretegurl; 02-16-2011 at 05:05 PM. |
