Can more than 1 yorkie be raised in the same house?

[tnothoo]

For all you guys who are giving me such great advices! Brown ear is 'Miles' and black ears is 'Jasz' (pronounced Jazz). Since they are white I'm pretty sure they are not pure Yorkies, but they have at least 90% of the physical characteristics - like I say, except for the colour of the hair.

Oh my goodness, they are total dolls!!!! Thanks for sharing they are precious!

Well... shouldnt be a problem... Maybe a bit of a head ache w/ 2 young pups - but not problem!

Some believe that bringing up siblings is a recipe for disaster http://www.caninedevelopment.com/Sibling.htm

Never done it myself so can't comment, mine are each around 12 months apart.

Yea they are just too cute little angels! Miles had some vomiting today, felt a bit weak. But then we realised that we decided to start feed them like adult dogs, you know, trying to condition them. But that just weakened Miles and later when he had his dinner he was fine. A bit of loose motion, which I'm keeping an eye on, the diet was less fatty, fish soup and rice - no canned dog foods, coz i want my babies to have the taste of real life. This is my one HUGE regret that i didn't feed Bobby, my cat, with real food, he was hooked onto Felix. Unfortunately, today it's one month since we lost him - car accident - just a head injury, and he was gone during the night... I thought I'd get puppies to fill in the emptiness. But now I'm coming to give the pups their fair share of love, coz I'm sure Bobby wants us to be happy again! So here we are, blessed with two gorgeous souls! And Miles has so much in common with Bobby - like as if bobby was dictating him to do things, to give us those loving gazes, kisses, etc!

Your babies are just beautiful. They look like the Biewer Yorkies. At this age you can also give them some baby food meat and baby food meat sticks. They can eat baby food cereal mixed with some applesauce or pears. Good luck with those babies.
I have two Yorkie girls that are 1st cousins and are only 6 weeks apart in age. I would never have only one now. They were quite a bit of work for the first year and half, but looking back, that was the best time of all!!

I am not the one to tell you will be ok. Potty training is a full time good.
But the joy of having that much love is worth all the work.

oh i cant wait to see your chorkie do you have pics?

Welcome to YT. Your babies are lovely. Coco was 6 months when I got Coffee at 10 weeks. I know there is an age difference, but I'm sure you'll do just fine.

I'm from South Africa, not too far from you lol.

Hey that's cool! My boys are enjoying the sun now - they were born in the north of the isalnd where it's always warm, and I live in the upper lands - in winter it's quite cold. Since last week spring has started setting in and it's warm at our place too. in the mornings they just love looking for their favourite spots in the living room coz they get the sun there! That's just after breakfast - today we gave them a little bit of Nestum with milk, it was not thick. After that they went snoozing in the sun. They just love being together, looks like they feel safer. But from time to time they do break apart to be with other people in the family! I'm told off quite often coz I'm spoiling them like anything! The minute they cry I just want to rush to them - happened last night. But they settled down quietly, and so did I! Now I've left them, and I'm at work! Each time I get a minute I'll get in touch with u guys! (I'm a lecturer!)

Hi! I've attached a pic of my boys. But I don't know how to get them in the corner like all the others! How can I do that?
Thanks for helping!

The problem you're going to have is that they're going to be inseperable most likely. Which is cute, but not healthy. I would highly recommend that you get them okay w/ being seperate from one another from the get go. Like they each have their own crate that they sleep in at night and not together. Or if you have to leave the house that they each have their own space. That'll also help you w/ housebreaking.


It's never a good idea to get two puppies from the same litter if you're not the kind of person that will follow rules like what I posted below.

I have three, a rescue and then got two pups, just remember they are little individuals and like different things take time to figure out what they like. Watch them play and you will see who is alpha of the pair and treat them accordingly. You will be kepy busy but it will be worth it!!!!
