NEED Advice About Having TWO Dogs - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Kristy I have the same EXACT problems as you do. My family loves Coco but they have already expressed that a 2nd one would be a problem for them. I go home on some weekends and I would have to take them with me. Flying is also an issue not only financially but other reasons you mentioned. I feel like I'm in the same boat with the same questions as you. I still have not made up my mind. I've just kepy thinking if it's meant for me to have another one, the opportunity will present itself.

Just wanted to let you know that good quality yorkies are sometimes hard to come by and since you are in chicago.... Indiana is not too far away.. Jill Brooks here in Indiana has a litter that will be ready to go in 4-5 week. That is where I just got my Maddie from this week. She is a wonderful person her puppies are adorable, healthy, and clean. Ck out her post in yorkies for sale. She has pics of them on there. and I personally seen them too.!!! hint hint hint.....just a thought.. ahahahaha

All the points you mentioned are why I decided not to get a second one. I even had one lined up. Really it came down to I didn't think Logan would want to share me. He seems so content & happy & well behaved & I'm afraid another dog would be the end of his good behavior. Plus I think it would drive the cat insane. Also my mom wasn't keen on dog sitting 2. Logan enjoys his doggy friends, but he also likes his alone time too. So it came down to right now I just don't think it's right, but you never know.

Kristy, I have 2 dogs and I couldn't be happier! They love each other so much and are always kissing. But I do have a hubby -- so when we travel, we always bring them with us because the rule is 1 dog per person. I've never had any trouble flying. Walking them used to be a little difficult but they eventually learned to walk together nicely.

Good luck with your decision.

I say go for it...I think having two yorkies is in fact easier. I have never, never regreted getting a second yorkie.
