hi everyone, i use to post here alot more but i work alot now or am spending time with my furchild,...but i just did it,
i put a deposit down on a second yorkie,

a boy, its the same parents as my first yorkie, i am so excited, he was born feburary 6th, hes only a few days old in the photo she sent me, any advice on dealing with 2 yorkies would be great!, im scared my first one will be jeallous, shes not very social and wants nothing to do with other dogs at the dog park or on walks... i also took her to doggy school and shes still not too social..im hoping getting a second yorkie might help her..or have i made a big mistake?im excited yet nerous..so again any advice would be apperciated

he wont be ready to go until the end of april or so though but i want to be prepared

aww, what a cute baby . congratulations..
i do have 3 dogs but only 1 yorkie..
there are however lots and lots of members here that have 2 or more yorkies so i am sure you will get lots of helpful advice...

Congrats on the new furbaby. May he grow strong and healthy!

MandiesMom · 02-13-2013, 12:52 PM

I don't have any advice on 2 yorkies. I hope to get another in the future but just have the one now.

I just wanted to say Congrats!! He's soooo cute!!!

Ldyrev1 · 02-13-2013, 01:31 PM

Congrats on your new fur baby! Sounds like you will be having tons of fun.

We found that if you take them lots of different places when they are young (should work for older dogs too I would think), they get used to seeing other people, hear new sounds, and become very social in public and private. We did this with our mini Schnauzers, our mixed breed, and will do so with Princess Sophie!!

Good luck, what a cutie pie!!

Congratulations. I have 3 yorkies all females and they get along fine. They all accepted each other when I brought a new one home. They are all pretty mellow girls. Pixie and Roxie are real close and once in awhile when they were younger they would gang up on Cali. Nothing bad though. They did tend to bond with each other more so than when I only had one. But they all come for snuggle time.
I just separated the new puppy when I couldn't watch them until I knew they all got along. But really they all accepted the new one right away.

msyorktown · 02-13-2013, 03:23 PM

I have three, all get along great...took a minute, but they all love each other now. We do have the occasional spat, but it all works itself out...your new furbaby is beautiful, congratulations!

Yorkiemomma78 · 02-13-2013, 03:30 PM

I have 2 yorkie pups right now,but years back we had 3 at the same time.You can never have to many yorkies! The more the merrier!!

Congrats! I hope he grows big and healthy and that time flies by for you so you can bring him home!

Teresa Ford · 02-13-2013, 04:21 PM

Congrats on your new boy. Keep the pics coming, weekly would be nice.

Mee-sha · 02-13-2013, 08:22 PM

thanks everyone so much! this made me feel so much better about getting a second one! only yt members truly understand, and thanks for the suggestion of seperating them, i think i will pick up some baby gates tomorrow, my first yorkie had someone home with her day and night for her first 6 months, now shes home alone 4 days a week for 5 hrs, sometimes less..she dealt with it very well...im just not too sure how the puppy will deal with being alone that long, he will be so little...im hoping he will be a little lazier than meesha and sleep while i work and not get into any trouble lol and yes i will post photos, i am dying to see what he looks like with his eyes opened and little furryer

The 4 M · 02-13-2013, 09:01 PM

Hi I have 5 in total have just added 2 more from my little girls litter they are only 8 weeks old so are in the pen with there litter mates at the moment till they fully house trained, they all get on really well although Merlin doesn't like pups he's a big baby and doesn't have much to do with them until they are at least 4 month old he's not nasty he just snubs them lol but Molly 2 at the time took to Milo great within the first seconds of walking in the door she was all over him and playing. Milo who is 8 month plays with the pups great to he is so gentle have been really proud of him the past couple of weeks. I also found it easier to train Molly and Milo as they watched Merlin so fingers crossed it goes the same for Mickey and Minnie. Good luck you will have great fun the more the better.
