Going to meet possible new puppy :) - YorkieTalk.com Forums

She is 12 weeks old...I have only had Yogi for a month n half,but we decided we wanted to get him a playmate..I know it's going to be a lot of work with 2 puppies in the house,but I figure may as well get them both trained at the same time

Any cons on getting one so soon?

Nope, just enjoy, twice the work and twice the lovens !!!!

Chachi was 3 mos when we got Jewels who was 2 mos. The only thing probably more difficult was the potty training. My yorkies are really close though like littermates because they grew up together however they are also really close to us like you would have if they were the only yorkie. I will do it that way again if later in life I get another pup because I feel the benefits outweigh the cons

Potty training is much more difficult, and the two will more likely bond with each other than the human, but if you're gone much of the day, this is a good thing. I love watching dog play who are best friends!

I am at the other end of the life cycle. We brought home 3 poodle puppys 10yrs ago. The joys of watching them play and bond over the years is priceless. The ONLY down side is having,now 2 poodles, the same age and taking care of them and the health issues that sometimes accompany being older. We lost one of the twins last March and that is how I ended up here.
I would like to reccommend having insurance on the both of them and making sure that you have a doggie emergency fund that you add to every month. After that all I can say is go for it. Enjoy watching them grow up together and become the best of friends.
