| I have two! Miso- 3 month old male and Kimchi 6 month old male. We will add a 3rd dog, but it will probably be a large breed, and a few years from now!

| I've always considered myself the exception to the rule of "Yorkie addiction". I have just one, and am perfectly happy with that. She can be a handful sometimes...spoiled little princess that she is. I don't think I would have the time or patience for more than 1, and my SO would surely disown me if I brought another one home.

| I have three dogs. Only one is a yorkie, I also have a shih tzu and an Australian Shepherd mix. They keep me busy, but they also keep each other company and are great friends!

| I have two dogs, but only one Yorkie. Maybe someday I'd own more than 2. Most definitely not now. They completely exhaust me. Like right now they are wrestling and I'm afraid they will poke each others' eyes out. So then comes the headache. With my life right now, I really shouldn't even have 2 (or 1 for that matter). Didn't have a ton of desire for a second dog, but things fell into place. Now I don't want and would refuse a third. For those of you who have time, energy, and lots of $$$ to spend, I say go for it. I have none of those things, so 2 will have to do.

| Right now I have 2-a male and a female both 6yrs old. Bubba, I got as a Christmas present (I got to pick him out though) and Sissy was a rescue. I'd love to have a 3rd, 4th and......... We have a home in NJ and just purchased property in S. Carolina and will build there. Maybe I will apply to foster then but time will tell. I don't feel inclined to purchase another when there are so many in need of a warm, loving home(just my opinion)

| I have 4 but no yorkies. Sadie is a Silky, Scooter, Thor and little bit are Yorkie poos. I have my hands full but I would not have it any other way. I to am always looking at petfinder and yesterday I found a beautiful male yorkie in the kill kennels so of course I am on the phone with all my friends trying to find this guy a home. He will be availible for adoption on the 31 so I will be the first one at the kennel to try and pull him. Once he is safe I will work to find him a home. He is little and young and should not be in a kill shelter.

| I love reading about all of your dogs. I'm glad I asked. I was very happy with just Sydney, but eventually, when I get a job, Sydney would have been by herself. I've had Sydney for two years now with no job. When I do return to work, it will be a big adjustment for both of us. At least now with Suzy, she won't be alone. That got me thinking, it would be nice to have three girls to come home to some day.

| We have 5 dogs a yorkie, a shorkie, a shih tzu, and two basset hounds. We are thinking about adding another yorkie to our family one day. |

| I just have one. Most of the time, I'm very content with it. He's like my best little friend - that typical "human/dog bond" you see in the movies (LoL- think about it, most dog-related movies, they only have 1 dog) and I must say it's pretty easy. I like spoiling him, he gets plenty of exercise and doggy socialization, he goes most places that he can with me including family get-togethers, running errands, etc. All in all, I like having 1 dog but I miss the aspect of him having a buddy to play with inside. My moms dog lived with us until she died and he lost his play buddy. But we still do go to my dads house once or twice a week where he gets to play with his dogs. Basically, it was nice having the playmate but not the responsibility. I know I'll get a 2nd dog eventually and I think I'll just know when it's time. I start dogsitting tomorrow for 4 nights for a pup around Jackson's size so I guess it will be a good trial-run.

| I've had two dogs at once before and it was a lot of work, time, money and energy. I loved both like crazy, but have realized that now that I only have one is the best situation for me and my family. I know to each their own. My reasons for liking the "single life" is because its easy to travel with one, it's cheaper and I get all the snuggle time. If you have the means, time and want for more go for it. Yorkies are like potato chips you can't just have one

| We have one female...our sweet Miss Sophie . We have a very close bond. She enjoys traveling with us and is our constant loving companion. We love her so much! Lately we have talked about adding a rescue yorkie or yorkie mix from a shelter. We hesitate only because everyone is happy the way things are now, We tried adding a female (Hazel) a year or more ago and we had problems for months with both being females close to the same age and Hazel being larger and far too aggressive with Sophie. Reluctantly we let my niece take Hazel home where she's happy being in an only dog household. Still, we think about trying again now that Sophie is over 2 yrs old and weighs 4 lbs.. We just don't want to make another mistake .
