Info regarding adding a 3rd toy size yorkie to our family

[Kcoffman]

Hello! My husband and I currently have 2 yorkies, Ted is 2-1/2 and CoCo is 1-1/2. They love each other & play together well. We are thinking about adding another toy size girl...making 1 yorkie boy & 2 yorkie girls. Coco I know would love having another friend to play with, Ted I'm not so sure about. When we got Coco it took him a week to warm up to her. My concern about adding a third is Coco & her becoming bonded leaving Ted to be alone. I'm a stay at home yorkie mom, I shower them with a ton of love & affection! Any of you that have 3 yorkies in the same home, I would appreciate you sharing the pros & cons that you've experienced.

Thank you for your help!!

I had a pack of 3 girls all 3 years apart, when the 8 week old baby came home it took the 6 yo and the 3 yo almost 2 months to stay on the floor with baby jaws. My older girls (all now passed) had sweet loving personalities, when the baby was appox. 6 mos old all 3 played together zooming through the house lol. The baby was the boss, the baby was "the baby" the two older girls would baby her, wash her face, and basically take care of her. I would say it all depends on each dogs personality, the existing ones and the new puppies, and of course your training of the new baby. It's hard to say will Ted join in and play, he's your dog, you know his personality. My 6 yo held back for a while but when she saw the 3 yo and the baby playing the 6 yo would join in.Good luck on your decision.
