I say go for it . . . the more the merrier right! If I had my way, I want more than 2, but for now my husband is resigned to getting one more just to indulge me . . . I will worry about getting a 3rd when I am ready. We will just have to wait and see . . . I blame YT for this sudden urge to get more yorkies . . . :D |
I've had Jersey since she was a puppy, she's almost one year old now. We are going to check on another Yorkie this Sunday. My husband has a Mini Schnauzer that I bought him for Christmas, I hope eveyone can get along. |
I feel guilty about getting another dog because Stewie has been a spoiled only child forever. If I would have gotten two at the same time, that problem would have never existed. |
I have 2 that I got 1 month apart but they were both puppies! It was the best decision that I ever made! Having 2 is so much easier than having one! The only problem I think would be the potty training that would be tough with 2 at the same time! Good luck in your decision I'm sure that which ever one you make will be a good one! |

We have three furbabies. Princess is the only Yorkie, They all play together, I think if you can get two Yorkies, go for it, just make sure you have plenty of free time to give them. :2hearts2: |
Both of mine were pups and I got them 1 month apart from each other. They adjusted to each other easily and I didnt have any sibling rivalry. |
Thank you so much for all your feedback. I don't think I would get two dogs since I want to be really responsible. That is true that vet bills might become twice more too... I just thought I would throw the question to you as I hold onto myself not to jump on making a decision without any consideration. It is really hard when you have been waiting for long time and now having options of taking an older dog or a pup... But then I want to be a responsible owner... Anyway.. it was really helpful. Thanks. |
Sounds good to me - you could train them both at once and they will be great company for each other. Go for it! |

I am a stay at home mom..BUT I don't think you shouldn't get a puppy just cause you can't stay at home. There are lots of moms that have to work these days..I'm lucky that I don't have to..but you wouldn't put off having a child because you have a career or a job so why should you have to if you adopt a furbaby. That is why they have crates..for people that have to leave home. I don't think it makes you a bad yorkie owner just because you have to work to make a living for yourself. I beleive people have different ways in how they are a pet owner. As long as the pet is taken care of it doesn't make you a bad owner because you don't see it the way others do. We all parent our children different and we all care for our yorkies different. I hope I don't offend anyone with my opinion and it isn't my intention to start a big ol debate. I do think getting two yorkies is a WONDERFUL idea exspecially if you have to work. For me I would at least wait a few weeks in between buying two but just because it gives you time to bond and the pet time to bond to you. Sometimes if you buy two at the same time..those two pets can bond more to each other. But if thats what someone wants to do it doesn't make them a bad pet owner. As far as expenses..if you love something you find a way to pay for their care. I couldn't afford to have kids when I did..but i found a way and nearing the end of their childhood..i look back and realize that we had a tough beginning but in the end I gave them all they needed and a whole lot of what they wanted. |

Michiko - I think it would be wonderful if you get the older one. Seems like everyone wants a puppy and sometimes the older ones get left behind. Four years old is still young for a little Yorkie. It's probably a wonderful little dog, and you could get your second dog, a little puppy, any time you are ready. Good luck - with whatever you choose to do. Carol Jean |
potatoe chips...... well.... I think it really depends on you..... how much you are researching and what you are looking to have. Having 2 can be wonderful.... they have each other and they will get to grow up together..... I have 6 dogs in the house... 5 of them are yorkies and I love watching them play with each other everyday. They don't even look up sometimes when my husband comes home cause they are too busy playing! I always have to say, ' Did you guys say HI to daddy?' Everyone here has many valid points.... GOOD LUCK! |
