Can't decide about another puppy - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My baby boy, Malibu is a little over a year old. He is very spoiled and he gets all of our attention and still begs for more. I want to get him a friend for when we leave him alone, but I am afraid he will be jealous and sad. Does a dog know loneliness if they have never had a friend? If he doesn't ever feel lonely, then I guess we don't need another dog. Because I don't want to risk making him sad and jealous.
How have your spoiled dogs responded when another dog is introduced? I have puppy fever and I want another...What do you guys think????
Thanks!

Our pup was pretty spoiled and he wasnt sad when we got another one. My two get along like two peas in a pod. I think yorkies do better in pairs so I say get another one

Another thing is he wears us out wanting to play 24/7. It would be great if he had a playmate to take the pressure off of us!

Thanks...another question too. I found him a girlfriend and would like to breed him and get the pick of the litter. Think he'll do ok with one of his own? Shouldn't really matter I don't think.
