Also if you can't take her it's much easier to find a friend or family member to watch one animal but not two. Two pets are four times harder than one.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. They are twice the cost, but I believe they are less demanding of your time when they have another dog to play with. I never found it any harder to take two than to take one. But then I had 6 kids the last rwo were twins, so I guess two dogs seemed like a picnic compared to the kids. LOL

He look like a Yorkie, but has the face of a Maltese, and has a white belly and a white head. As for his personality, he is 100% Yorkie. He is a fiesty Terrier haha, and potty training hasn't been too easy with him. His parents were 6 and 7 pounds and he is 7 pounds.

I want to get Stump a sister too! I'm thinking a female Maltese for my next one.

Awwww....yours and mine's baby pics look alike!! What a cutie you have too!!

OMG 6 kids = brave lady
I dont think a dog needs another dog living with it but as long as they have plenty of interaction with other dogs either outside or visiting then thats great. Buddy loves playing with other dogs but he also seems to love it when they have gone home or when he comes home to his nice quiet house and he can curl up and chill out in his own space.

I personally like the yorkiepoos. But I havent seen any of the other breeds in person.
I got my second yorkie due to him being lonely. It has been great having them both. But I do only work 8-5 and my daughters gets out of school early plus we go home for lunch. So they arent alone all that much.
