| If I had a bf to pay half the bills I'd get a second one or if I magically became independantly wealthy, I'd become the crazy Yorkie lady |

As for which one is the Alpha....hmmmm.....that's tough because I can't really even pinpoint one that I would consider alpha. I know that there probably is, since this is how dogs typically view each other, but my guys do not act like this. They each have their own moments of being grumpy, but I truly cannot say that one dominates over the other. I have a 23lb. Yorkie and he will growl at the others sometimes, but they know he's all talk and they will just lick him when he does this. My only one that has never had a moment of grumpiness is our Peke, but the Yorkies normally don't either. I probably was no help in answering yor question, but I haven't expereinced any sort of problems with this issue. | ||

| Just recently we added our second yorkie to the family. I think it was a very good thing. Bella is 4.5 pounds and Jett is a scant 2.4 pounds. They play FANTASTICALLY together!!! They are never alone.......it does help. I do know that dogs get lonely, it would definitely be something to consider!!! Good luck!!!

Now I'm going to make my pitch in behalf of rescue dogs. Contrary to popular belief, not all dogs in rescue have health and/or behavior problems. Being an animal lover that you obviously are, you can't imagine giving up a beloved pet, and assume that dogs that end up in shelters or rescues must have something "wrong" with them. But that isn't always the case. Most dogs end up in rescue because of a problem with the owner, not the dog. People underestimate how much time and money a pet requires and realize too late that they aren't up to the task. Other times, it's just unforeseeable changes in circumstances. We recently adopted a 2 year old, happy and healthy 4 lb Yorkie from a local rescue. His prior owner was diagnosed with cancer, and was tearfully surrendered because his owner didn't think she'd be able to take care of him while she herself was undergoing surgery and chemo. So please at least consider checking into rescues before you buy a puppy from a breeder. With an adult dog, you know what you are getting in terms of personality and size. You will be able to take the new dog for a "test drive" in a controlled environment and can see how they get along. You can basically let your dog choose her OWN playmate and will be more confident that you are getting the right match. Last edited by addevo; 04-14-2011 at 09:48 AM. | |

There so many precious furkids in shelters right now because of the economy and owners not financially able to keep them and/or loss of their home. | |
