Once you have one Yorkie you want more?

[brezofleur]

No skin kids or other dogs for us so we are getting our second in April

This WILL be the last!

[chachi]

We started out with one but we knew when we got him we were also going to get a female. My Husband saw a couple with a pair of them and thought that was cute. So a month after we got Chachi we got Jewels from the same breeder. She was thrilled we got 2 and said they do beetter in pairs. Now I cant imagine having one without the other and I will always have pairs

Bentley is only 14 weeks old and I am already dreaming of a sister for him.

I am seriously thinking of contacting the breeder this late fall to see when she will have another litter of pups from his parents so he has a full sister.

Started out with one ended up with 4 until Nikki passed away last year. Now I have 3. Pros: Having 3 times the love and they keep each other company when I am gone. Cons: It can be expensive and hard to take 3 out at a time.
As I am getting older I will not add anymore.

Your pups are pure sweetness!

I am considering another yorkie to keep my 5 year old yorkie company. My question is ... do they enjoy anothers company? My boy clings to my side and I am wondering if they enjoy another dogs company?

They are addicting!! I bought one, my girl Boccee, with plans of only having the one. I work at home so I have plenty of time to give her. but she just seemed, I dunno, lonely! So the very next weekend I bought my boy, Bronco!! It has been the best thing for her! They run thru the house and wrestle and even snuggle that makes me so happy! I have only had them for a few weeks though, so time will really tell if my decision was best, but at this point we are all very happy we got a second! This Saturday Boccee will be 15weeks and Bronco will be 13 weeks.

I started with one and I have 3 now. I would have more if I could.

[LilAnnCamp]

I agree. We have 5 animals but we do without a lot of things that are normal. I have the annuals set up where they are in different months. I have it set up where we buy only 1 bag of kibble every 2 weeks. And the list goes on. 2 little dogs are easy taking places... It is the big dog that is hard travel with. We have a pet sitter that comes in now when we are gone.

I guess I am the odd man out- I have just one little guy, Peanut- I have had him since he was 10 weeks. Peanut is 5 years, will be 6 in May. I’m 100% content with one. I love having just one. He gets all my love and attention- and I get all his love and attention!!!

That is Exactly How I Feel but also because of living in the City. Im on the 5 th floor of a condo building and Riley comes just about everywhere with me and if I got another it would be much more difficult to do that. If I lived in a house in the suburbs I would maybe have 2 to keep each other company.

I have really thought about adding another yorkie..Foxy is 7, and I am not sure how she would feel about that though..she is so spoiled and I fear she would be super jealous!

[dawn27]

Lol . . . Once you have one Yorkie you want more and more and just one more and now we have four. We love them so much, they are all such a big part of our family !

We have a litter of 6 right now (Ruby's 6 pack) and if we had a bigger home we would definitely be keeping one. We spend lots of tender moments with each of them just letting them sleep on our chest and getting them use to our touch. It's going to be hard letting them go since during the socialization process we do get quit attacked to them.

I wouldn't suggest getting another pup until you other is fully trained. One he is or if he is, he will be a great roll model for a new addition.

We started with one and added a second - if we weren't renting our house and it was ours, I would add one more. I love my Yorkies so much! They are the lights of my life! We started with Jack and added Izzy. Jack was 3 years old when we got Izzy. They play well together.

I do, however, agree with the others - weigh the pros and cons, costs, etc. We are lucky to be in a house with a fairly large yard.

[msyorktown]

I started with one, Raelle....her breeder called and asked if we wanted her brother...yup you guessed it, Orion! Then I decided I wanted a Biewer, so a year later Jersey joined the pack...love them all to pieces. I always take one with me where ever I go and the two left at home keep each other company!
If fiancé would let me I would get another! You know to make it a nice even number...lol!

Just about all of us, it's called "Yorkieitus".
