but DH says no.. But then again he said no to Ella too at first and now he's wrapped around her paw!!!

My DH said no to two at first also. But I just went and picked up and Mikki and said surprise!

Ha ha. He loves Mikki and I think we will always have two from now on!!

sugarmamma · 04-14-2012, 09:00 AM

I think 2 is my limit. I like to be able to spoil and provide and care for them easily!!!

That is DH's concern. I think he would let me have as many as I wanted but he feels they will not get all the attention they need if we have more than two.

I'm perfect with three, but ask me this again in May after Lori's fur baby, Friday, has her litter. Who could possibly resist those cute little fuzzy faces?

JERSEY BOY · 04-14-2012, 09:26 AM

I have 2 now and that's is what I am comfortable with financially. If money was no object I would have 4

Of course they would have a room or 2 for all their clothes and things and a Yorkie Nanny

TxVicki · 04-14-2012, 09:28 AM

I have had as many as 5 at one time. I only the 2 now. My heart is still broken from loosing my 3 oldest ones in 13 month time period.

I do know I want another. I know I will adopt again when the time is right and I see her.

Schooby · 04-14-2012, 10:06 AM

If money wasn't an issue......I'd have 6

Yup, a 6 pack of yorkies sounds perfect to me!

yorkiedallas · 04-14-2012, 10:14 AM

If I won the lotto, I would want to rescue a dozen or more then move out to the country and have a yt ranch (copious amounts of helpers would need to be hired), in the real world, I may keep my eyes open for another male this fall, bringing the total up to two yt, and one elderly spitz mix.

Donnainohio63 · 04-14-2012, 10:16 AM

Well I now have 6, I origianlly only wanted one, so how did this happen you ask? Well we all know about Sadie's puppies and how I had homes for all of them until two of them went to their new homes and DH threw a fit and said the other two ( Thor and Little Bit ) could not leave because it broke his heart to lose Bear and Princess so that made four. Then I decided I wanted to foster so along came Molly and no one wants a blind Yorkie so I guess she is here to stay which is fine by me, I love her. Then a lady called me and asked me if I could take Gizmo (Little Dude ) so that makes 6. I think DH would let me have as many as I wanted but I am maxed out now.

CouversMom · 04-14-2012, 10:50 AM

I absolutely LOVE having two. Three is just too much for me. Fostering a third is fine, but I know I would not be happy with three permanently. We travel do much, and I don't leave them behind... So two is great. They ride together in their KB and car seat so it's easy to just get up and go. If I had a more sedentary lifestyle... I could handle more

Britster · 04-14-2012, 11:37 AM

To be honest, I am not sure if I want any more Yorkies. There are so many other breeds I'd love to try out. Although I am certain I WILL have a Silky Terrier in the near-ish future. I could see myself with 2 terriers and one big dog. But I don't think I'd ever want more than 3 dogs total, but 2 being ideal. Actually I am kind of in my "I love having one" phase too right now. It's just so easy and I love being able to give all my time and attention to him, and bring him anywhere.

BabyGirl Rosie · 04-14-2012, 11:40 AM

We have two Yorkies, one Walker (Beagle), and one Great Pyrenees mix. The Walker was rescued by DH. Yes DH!!! This is the least amount of dogs for us. We used to have three Beagles but they are all gone now.

I really wouldn't mind having a few more Beagles in the future. They are really great dogs.

Two. Giorgio needs someone play with.
