bijou77 · 08-05-2007, 05:14 PM

I have 2 yorkies that I love more than life. now, I want to get one more, but everyone arround me tell me that it would be a big mistake.
Anyone who has 2 or more, will it really be that much harder???

Hey..

I have 6..I love all of mine..it's hard, but if you are at home all day then you can love another one!

They are just like kids..you have to keep up with them!

LOL...right now I have 10!! I have 3 adults and 7 puppies for the next 6 to 8 weeks!! I do't think 3 i any harder than 2 once you get them all trained.

awwwwwwwww, siiix yorkies. but what about when you travel, etc.
I dont let anyone touch my babies, I dont even take them to the groomers. I'm a little bit tooo over protective, maybe thats why ppl around me tell me not to get the 3rd one.
I would loved to have six yorkies!!!

I have three and I'm trying to figure out if the recliner and bed are big enough for four

I have two yorkies and one silky and it is not that much harder than having two...we just have learned that you can't take all three out when we go shopping, so we rotate who gets to go and which two stay home together. We haven't had to deal with traveling yet...but I would say that they more you get, the more you will need to have time to make sure they are all been cared for properly. Vet bills can add up quickly if they get sick...but I love having three!! I am not ready to add any more but give me a year or two and I will be for sure!!

Well....we have four, and the bed is always big enough. Actually two belong to my daughter, but they spend most of the time here at Gamma's house..its quieter when we have our two, but its four times as many kisses and snuggleing when they are all here....We don't travel and have our own business, so I can take them to work with me or come home anytime of day to check on everyone so.....it works for us...it is just like having kids, you always have enough patience and love for as many as you have

bijou77 · 08-05-2007, 06:03 PM

I guess I will get one more then!!!
I want to adopt but the only problem is that I will not know the background of the dog and since I have 2 dogs maybe its better to be on the safe side and just buy one, no?

I have 4 Yorkies and 3 puppies right now, and a border collie. I personally think that it isn't that much more work having 3 or more if you have the time to devote to their proper care.

jrsygal37 · 08-05-2007, 06:23 PM

I have five Yorkies all together. Well, four Yorkies and one Morkie. I don't think it's any harder. The only time it seems like more work of coure at bath time and it can be tricky with company but more due to size. I'm always afraid someone will step on one of my smaller girls and of course when I let them out to potty, I always count heads when they come in. LOL. I'm a stay at home mom with and 11 yr. old and 13 yr. old so I think that makes a difference too. Elaine

bellaismybaby · 08-05-2007, 06:57 PM

I'm so glad to hear you say it isn't that much harder. I'm considering a third too

Boy they are addicting!!

JoyRenee · 08-05-2007, 07:29 PM

I have 3 and now a newborn Puppy that we are keeping. Its not hard for me. Especially if the others are already potty trained. I even take them w/ me when we go on vacations and such. They are apart of the family.

Do you mean adopt from a shelter? If this is what you mean..you might ask them if they do any evaluations on the dogs for their social interaction with other dogs and ppl...I think most of them do this so they can determine if they are safe to place in a home ect...but hmmmm to adopt or buy???? Wow I don't know the answer to that one...I know there are alot of babies at the shelters or rescues needing homes and you sound as if you would make a little furball a wonderful Mom!! Your babies are so absolutely adorable on Dogster!!!
