May be getting another Yorkie girl, but...
 

I've been really wanting another Yorkie girl, but keep wondering if my baby Tika (who is 6.5 months old) would be opposed to it. Question for those who have more than one pup, how did your Yorkie react to the new pup? Tika gets so much attention now and is such a joy. I would hate for her to become jealous and start acting up (hmmmm...but I think my human children did that too) ;) Advice and stories would be greatly appreciated. (Also, can you tell me the age differences between your pups?)

We got Rowdy in the spring of 05 and Rex in the spring of 06 - they are 1 year apart in age. They have the same father, different mothers.

Rowdy was/is a joy - BUT he was a little jealous of Rexy at first. He was never mean to Rexy, but everytime we would hold Rexy when he came home, Rowdy would come and get between Rexy and our face. Rowdy will still occasionally do that, but only occasionally. Rowdy still shows a little jealously - which I think is perfectly normal.

He and Rexy are best buds though, and I think they would be lost without each other now. They have a ball playing together!!! They sleep together. Rowdy starts begging us to go to bed about 9:00PM and we never go that early. Now, he and Rexy will go to bed together and he doesn't beg us to go with him anymore. I wish we had gotten two of them from the start!

I say "go for it" - I don't think you will regret it. I know you will get lots of stories and sometimes I think the jealousy is more acute that it was with Rowdy, but I don't recall anyone saying that the dogs didn't eventually adjust and become good friends.

Oh hun, if you really want another I would go for it! In fact, I DID go for it! lol....when Louie was about 1 yr. I think it was that we decided to get him a sister for companionship and company. At first I too didnt know if we did the right thing because he was just the center of our world. Well, we went to see Bella by ourselves first and fell in love with her but did not take her home. We wanted to bring Louie THERE to meet her and see how he acted. Well, he is a real mellow guy anyways and acted just fine, like he really liked her, so right there and then we bought her and took her home, so they were BOTH with us on the car ride home. When we got in the house I immediately put her in the "playpen" thingy that we had up at the time and let Louie just kind of walk around and check her out.....we gave HIM most of the attention at first just so he knew that there was NO_ONE that was going to take his place. After a little while we would put him in there with her and watch them and they seem to do just great so after more time we let her out and really supervised them and everything went great from there on in...They are the BEST of friends and so so much fun to watch. It was the best move we ever made to have the 2 of them! In fact im thinking of getting a 3rd!!!! Good luck to you hun and let us know what you've decided.

I am sure Tika will adjust if you get a new pup. My two are a month apart in age. They have the same father but different mothers. They got used to each other instantly since they are so close in age. They are very independent of each other though and never lay down by each other,. Thy do play together though.

Yay-I feel better! Your stories are so positive!! I will talk with hubby tonite and see what he says :D My 19-yr old daughter has a young male Yorkie (Madden) and I thought She and He would be home often, but unfortunately the "freedom bug" has got a hold of her and loves being out and about. So her pup is at her boyfriend's apartment more often than our home. Tika enjoys playing with Madden, so I'm hoping she'll enjoy a full-time sister even better (was just concerned about the jealousy thing). Thanx for all your wonderful advice - I'll keep you posted if/when the stork will be coming our way :D

mine were fine, we had Brambles for years before we got Suzi and he is completly indiferent to her, She adores him! then it was another 4 or so years before we got Basil and they are all fine :)
