I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | What's the question? Should you buy them? I think getting two pups at one time is usually a big mistake, I also think supporting poor breeding is enabling poor breeders to continue breeding. Why do you want to get them?

| The yorkie is the one I'm buying. I'm buying him because I am finally ready to be a pet owner again. I'm getting him from a gal at work. (BYB) didn't know that at the time, but it's clear now. At any rate, initially I was going to get a chihuahua. But that didn't pan out. So I found out about the yorkie and put a deposit on him. Weeks later, (3 days ago) I found out the Chihuahua came available again. (new owner backed out when she lost her job). My heart is set on my little man Noni, but I started with the Chihuahua. I'm not biting off more than I can chew, just want to know if it is safe. Is there anything I should consider.

| I have a Chihuahua rescue who is 11 yrs old. Marcie is 8 yrs old. Both are spade and are females with dominate personalities. My Chihuahua has not had any health issues nor has Marcie. With that being said they really do not play together. And fights will break out on occasion. Both breeds seem to want to be "top dog' so to speak and do not want to share attention. However, I do know some Yorkies get along well with Chihuahua. |

| The one thing to be concerned about would be germs/diseases that could be brought from one to the other...have the pups had any of their vaccines? Are they close in age? We brought two kittens home from two different homes on the same day...and I didn't really think too much about it myself...but one had crusty eyes, within a few days he was fine, but the little girl caught his infection. Within the first week we had them at the vet twice. I would say if you are comfortable with where they are coming from, and willing to get them vet checked in the first couple days your only big problem will be potty training two pups instead of one!! with them both being boys it may be a good thing to bring them home on the same day so there isn't any territory issues! Good luck! |

| I think safety should not be a concern because they are most likely a similar size. It's more difficult to train both at the same, but it is doable with love and dedication. I had three Yorkie babies within a year of each other who are at the Rainbow Bridge together. Ashley was with us for four months before we got Kiwi, and then almost a year later Gracie joined our family when she was six months old. Gracie was half of Kiwi's size, but Kiwi was very good with her sisters. When I first started college my mom got a small Yorkie puppy, Tiffany. My sister had her heart set on a small shih tzu puppy, Mee-two, so my mother brought them both home the same day. Both were the same age, but Mee-two was twice her size. Mee-two was very easy going, though, and Tiffany definitely ran the show. They got along beautifully. I wish you health, love, laughter, and happiness with your new little one(s).

Is this pup the same age as the 6 week old? If so, then you're definitely doubling your work load. Puppies are already so much work, then you add in young puppies and then you double it and I know that I wouldn't be up to the challenge and I'm a full-time online student (so I'm always home). I personally would go with the 1 that you really have your heart set on, which sounded like Noni, and take him and give him the best start you can at life. Then in a year, once he's fully trained and things have settled, bring him a brother/sister. That's just my personal thought, but it sounds to me like you really want both pups, so it's cool to go with it, just get that insurance and have fun with them.

| I'd get one, take it to the vet, then get the other and take it to the vet before they meet. That way you can be reasonably sure they won't get each other sick. I think the main things that are harder with having 2 puppies at once are potty training and watching them. |

Whenever you ask for any advice, you're going to invite all sorts of thoughts and answers, whether it's what you wanted or not. That's the beauty of forums, sometime's you learn more than intended cuz people mention things you might not have thought of. Try to see it from a positive perspective and not negative, I'm sure she didn't mean any harm.
