| Three's company or three's a crowd? Hi everyone! I have 3 yorkies. My first baby Penny is a now 2 years old. My second baby Simba is now a 1 1/2 year old boy. They used to play with each other everyday until the third came along. The third baby who is named Bella, is now almost 10 months old, but I got her when she was 4 months. Anyways, I noticed since Bella came along, Penny didn't want to play anymore. She was mellow and lazy, almost as if she matured. She wasn't like that until the third came along. It was Simba and Bella who always played together. Bella would always try to play with Penny, but Penny wouldn't play with her. Recently, Penny and Bella have been playing a lot together and seems like Simba is being left out. Is having 3 yorkies causing jealousy? I am planning on adding one more. Would that be adding fuel to the fire or will it help?

| Penny doesn't play with Simba anymore. They were like best of friends before. Now Simba doesn't play with either of them since Bella started to play with Penny. I spoil each one of them. I give my attention to all three. So they can't be jealous and starving for my attention. I am on the verge of getting the 4th one. I always wanted 5 total. You know how they become so addicting. I got the yorkie fever!!! I am starting to think having too much will just make each one jealous of the other.

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Well, I have 3. Gracie...my oldest...has never been much of a player. She's very laid back. Then, London (Gracie's pup) is such a handful. Always getting into everything. Last, we have Dallas...and he's still a pup at 13 months. London and Dallas play all the time and Gracie likes to sit back and watch.

| Im thinking of adding a 3rd dog to but Im worried 1 dog will be left out too. My husband keeps saying I have 2 hands so I only need 2 dogs but I have serious yorkie fever. Im interested how many people do well with 3 or more dogs. |

| You can never have enough yorkies!!! At first I felt they had another to play with, but when I look at it now, seems like things have changed with my other two. I have yorkie fever too! I'm about to get a fourth. Do you think yorkies go through depressions? It is unfair if one gets more attention. Are you planning on getting another one soon? How old are your current ones?

| I also have three Yorkies. Penny being two may just be maturing - Jazzie, my oldest will play really hard with the "twins" (Jolie & Jen - litter mates) only when she wants to play. And all three will play together when Jazzie wants to. Otherwise the younger two will play together and Jazzie watches. I seldom see one little one play with only Jazzie - maybe it's a litter mate or age thing? All three in my opinon are well adjusted in their own way. Maybe with Bella getting older and playing more rough, Penny is keeping her space? Or Bella could be challenging Penny for the alpha dog spot? Hard to say but I do know - they will figure it out in good time.

I'm sure they are just adjusting to Bella getting older and challenging the other two. As for Penny & Simba not playing together - maybe it's more fun playing with the new kid?

| Hahaha maybe it is! She's quite a character! She's so active while the other two are so mellow. She had to adjust to them when she first arrived. She didn't know how to play with them. She couldn't even catch up to them. Now, she is faster than them! I know she's still a baby and it seems like she's going to stay like that forever. Well, I am in search for a fourth one. I hope he/she won't be too young for them.
