I need help with a decision!
 

I need your help and I knew that I could count on you guys for this. So here is my problem. Adam, my hubby, has started giving me hints the past couple of days that he wants another yorkie baby. Well last night he looked at me and said... Heather, do you think that you would want another yorkie for our anniversary (June 25)? I got an instant grin on my face just like this :D

So here is where I need your advise, Ive been wanting another one but now that it comes down to it I dont really know, I told Adam that I would need to think about it. So all of you with 3 babies, let me know how it is better then having 2. Im just soooo afraid that one of them will be left out alot or get picked on by the other 2. We have enough money to have another one and give it all of the love and attention, so it just comes down to me not wanting to hurt Chloe and Daisy's feelings by getting another little one! Please Help!!!

sorry cant help you, only have one, but you have a great husband...

I only have one Yorkie but I think it's like with kids: You just love all of them. Since you and your husband together have 4 hands there could be room for even a 4th. In your heart, I'm sure, there is room for 100! :aimeeyork

Well I'm sure love won't be a problem at your house, but you need to decide if it's what you want,,another mouth another housetraining, vet bills, all those puppy things.. It's up to you.
What a great hubby you have!
I weigh my options alot lately,, but I'm undecided ... they are alot of work when they are little.. but so worth it,,but I always forget about all the work when ya see those little puppy faces. ;)
Let us know what you decide...

I have two. In the future I am going to get a 3rd. I wish I could get her now. I would get the pup. I am sure Daisy and Chloe wll adapt and like having a new playmate. What a great Anniversary gift

Oh man your husband rocks. I say go for it. I have only one but intend to get at least another in the future.

It will take time but they will all adjust and I figure that training will go faster being that the pup will have role models to show her the ropes.

This is exactly what I am talking about, Ive been saying that I want another one, but its the potty training, the getting Chloe and Daisy used to another one. Now that it comes down to it I am having a hard time! I wish that he would have just went out and bought me one so that I wouldnt have to think about all of this ;) It would have just been a done deal!

How about an older rescue? That way you have a "ready made" Yorkie and all the rescues really need a good home! :aimeeyork

So tell him to decide and just suprise you. He can tell how thing are going there and if you will have the patience to start all over again.

He should know you better than you know yourself anyhow...lol.

By the way congrats on the upcoming anniversary!

I would say go ahead and get the third one...then, get another, if you have room, then another, and another.......

My daughter has 6 permanent residents. Occasionally we have a litter from one of the females. We seem always to have room for more. After the pups are sold, we baby sit for some of the new mamas. We also have them come over to visit. Some times we have "strangers" come and visit. It takes a few minutes, but pretty quick they all seem to get along. (Of course we only have one stud, who needs to be locked up when the strangers are here, but he doesn't really care! He likes his privacy.) I do think that getting them socialized at a young age is important in having them get along later in life. Ours are all jealous to a certain extent, but they also love each other a lot, so it works out.

What about...
 

Well if you want another baby to Love, and want to make the anniversarry gift extra special.....why not get a rescue yorkie??? Many of the rescue Yorkies are potty trained, you can choose the perfect special one that really needs your Love, and you can test your others with it with onsite visits.You could know you made a difference in a homeless Yorkies life.

I think my only qualm about getting a third would be traveling.... it is alot easier taking 1 everywhere, two a bit harder and 3 well... I think is alot more dififcult..... good luck inyour decision!:)

p.p.s My 4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY is on the 21st ...4 days before yours... how neat is that...lol./.

I say go for it. Daisy and Chloe will go through a period of adjustment but in time they will accept the new puppy. Just remember, the more the merrier. Good luck and what a great husband you have!!

Wow, Heather...in theory it sounds like an easy decision, I don't think the love is a consideration...you'd love them just the same. But starting all the puppy biz allll over again, after you are past puppy "issues" is a whole other story. Good luck with whatever you decide and you're right it would've been easier if hubby just brought one home. :)

i have 4 yorkies 2 i bred my self and 2 rescue yorkies, and i love it. will be moving in september and will be getting another one. its kind of pot luck to how your other ones will get on with it and how hard it will be to train, scampi was so easy and a lot of stuff he just kind of did his self without me even training him, then i got sasha when he was 5 and she was a bit of a madam to house train but got it in the end, then scampi and sasha had a one night stand lol and along came tye and zac which i kept and were a nightmare to train as they are a bit barkward due to a hard birth:( it took 7 years to house train:eek: then scampi died aged 15 so i only had 3 then 2 years later sasha died aged 12 so i only had 2 and i didnt like it so i got brandi my rescue yorkie and she got one with tye from the start but zac didnt like her, took him about 2 weeks to get to like her and now they have kisses, then i got annie another rescue and tye and zac got on with her from the start but brandi and her had a few fights but now love each other to bits. so its pot luck really if they will all get on and how hard it will be to train them, id say go for a rescue yorkie that way you will no if they will get on and house training is already done:)

theres always an adjustment
 

When i got Moe we had teddy and Sassy our rescue dogs....Sassy was my hubbys baby, and Teddy was my constant shadow.Teddy did not like the idea of Moe at all, Sassy didn't mind because Moe didn't interfere with her being daddy's # 1 girl. I had to show Teddy that just because Moe was around, didn't mean he had lost his place in the "pack", it took a good month for Teddy, but he was a severely abused rescue dog and I was his world, so to share with moe was hard for him.Now Teddy and Moe are the best of pals, and teddy protects Moe when outside, we have a stray cat who likes to taunt, So i would say, if you go into it knowing there will be adjustments, and able to share out the Love without making the present day babies feel they have lost thier possition, I don't see the problem.

i only have one. but i will say go for it :thumbup: :D

Ive always said if I get another one then I am going to get 2 at once, bc I want an even number but.... The first thing out of Adam's mouth last night after he said that was.... And I said ONLY 1 you are not getting 2!!! So thats out of the question, LOL!

I say go for it ... more puppy kisses!!

I had a similar experience a couple months ago. I had 2 males and hubby and I both wanted another. As luck would have it, I ran across a lady who GAVE me a beautiful 2 year old little girl. My 1 yr. old loved her, the 2 yr. old was jealous and just tolerated her. We really enjoyed it the first week, then the bed seemed to get smaller, leashes were tangled when we walked them, traveling is a whole 'nother story.:eek: To make a long story short, my daughter only had her 2 yr.old girl, so we decided everyone would be happier if Gracie went to live with my daughter. Worked out great! The girls are about the same size (10 lbs) and my boys are both about 6 lbs. I do think I would like to have a "little" girl one day, but I do love my boys!:D

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I have one yorkie now, and my husband was the one who approached me about getting a second one. Of course I got really really excited and said YES. We called the breeder from whom we got Hobbs and committed to getting another one from her, which we are supposed to bring home in early July. But now that the time is getting closer, I am getting so apprehensive. I just love Hobbs so much, and I don't want him to feel like I am replacing him in any way. Also, Hobbs is just so good and well behaved, that I am nervous about how bad the new puppy might be. But, after considering everything, I am getting more excited about getting her. We are going to visit her for the first time next week, and I know I am just going to fall in love when I see her. So, don't worry. How could you possibly not love another one?! :D

I have three
 

Hi there, I have three and they are like kids. They take care of each other. The only issue I had when I got the baby at nine weeks was Ceeby was a little jealous. Not much. Only when she was in my lap. Now that she is six months old, the rough play doesn't bother her either. I used to have to rescue her from Ceeby . he loves to play. She can hold her own now. Her breeder had not even started to pee pad train her or anything. She only had a few accidents in the house at first, then I guess she noticed the other two peeing on the pad and she started going on the pad to pee. I am not so fortunate with the poop. Most of the time they all poop on the pads but sometimes not. Now that it is summer, I am training them to go outside. It takes me about an hour each week to bathe and groom them. About half an hour or so each day to comb and wash hineys and eyes. Two is far better than one. One is so lonely. Three is even better and if Silk ever has any babies, I will have four because I am keeping one of hers.

Decision? DECISION?!! What decision? Get the Yorkie!

Nah, you'll have to decide if you have the time. I know for us, two has been infinitely better than one. We dogsit a third all the time, and that's even better.

What a wonderful husband. I have thought about a 3rd with the same questions you have. I like the pairs idea. But I think 3 would be just fine. I say GO FOR IT!!!

Becareful three turns in to four ha! I have been blessed that all four of mine get along great. My oldest Maddie is really laid back, and only plays when she wants, the other three play all the time. Do your two girls have the same personality? My four are all so different. I have two girls and two boys all are altered except Sprout.

I would get a yorkie that is not a puppy. Maybe a Rescue! Get one that is potty trained ect.Good Luck and Happy Anniversary:2party: :dreaming:

i think you should go for it.

BUT i would encourage you to STRONGLY consider rescuing an older yorkie. rescuing baxter was the best thing i ever did.

Go on Heather, you know you want one!!! My only question is girl or boy!!!!
