Is it all its cracked up to be? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I've read so many times where you say you would love to have a "house full of yorkies". Would you really?? Well, I have 4 yorkies and the little guy in the avatar (don't have a clue what he is

), and I'll tell you, you bet it is!! Oh, there are days when I don't know if I can take anymore, but then there are other days when I can't wait to get home to my babies.

Just this morning, Halo, the youngest - 5 mos.) was chomping away at something. Well, I dug in her mouth and pulled out a tooth!

How can you not love that! I'll admit, I haven't had a full night's sleep in 3 + years, but I wouldn't trade them for anything!!

Awww, sweet post and well said (love the tooth part). I was just offered a second Yorkie and I'm thinking long and hard about it. Your guys are adorable and love the little "unknown"...he's a cutie.

I have 5 yorkies and you are soooo right!! It's a hoot! I'll have to take video and post it to show all the action that goes on! Never a dull moment, that's for sure!

I honestly wish I only had 4, I have nine and I love them to pieces and they are the sunshine in my life but it is so hard and so much work with that many. You really cant go anywhere with all of them so you have to find people to watch them or you and you husband never do anything together. They are hard to train when there are so many also so while they are alot of fun and a big joy most of the time, no it is not all it is cracked up to be.

WOW!!! 9 dogs. You got your hands full. I have 2 and I would love just one more. I so badly want to have a little boy. Someday when the time is right, I know I will. But for now 2 is enough for me.

Yorkiekids · 08-02-2007, 09:42 AM

I have my two and their a handful, especially Penny. The other day I was trying to make her a dress, and she jumped up on the table and took a straight pin right out of the material. I almost had a stroke, but I wouldn't trade her for anything.

YorkieTime07 · 08-02-2007, 06:32 PM

Wow!! I am seriously thinking about getting another one for a total of 2.I have nathan so a sister for him would be nice ..Nathan and Natalie!!!!

But how much harder is it with 2 than one?? Would definetly have to get her fixed and then how is traveling with 2?? Can they both go in a bag??? Lot of questions!! Would want a small one like Nathan (3lbs) but no guareentee that would happen and she would be loved regardless of size so its food for thought and I am still chewing on it!!!

I have 4 Yorkies, a border collie and 3 Yorkie puppies right now. I wouldnt trade it for the world, yes it keeps me very busy but they are so precious and fun to have around. I would say having 2 wasn't more work then 1 cause they kept each other company, but having 4 adults and 3 puppies is alot of work. Soon there will be 2 less puppies cause I'm only keeping one of the puppies for myself.

TootiesMom · 08-02-2007, 07:19 PM

Although I feel that my "herd" is complete... it is worth every second of it to me! We had 5 furkids until recently we lost our TBone. We will not be adding a new baby for a LONG time... I have 2 yorkies, 1 mix chi and 1 lab.. they are the light of my life but yes, alot of work! I have even begun to STRESS over next year's vacation and dog sitters.. LOL

LoveMyJake · 08-02-2007, 07:23 PM

I only have one right now, and let me tell ya, I never expected the huge amount of joy he brings me!! I would LOVE to have a houseful, and eventually I just might.

I have so much fun with Jake, he makes me laugh and smile ALL the time! I knew that I would enjoy having a yorkie, but I never realized just how much fun he would make my life!

daisysis · 08-02-2007, 07:23 PM

9 yorkies WOW.. for keeps???
I had 11 (becuase of two litters ) at once and wow was that work
But they all have new homes now except 3
I miss the house full but I can give more attention and love to just 3 now
It can get very over whelming

Anna Banana · 08-02-2007, 07:38 PM

I have four dogs right now, but only one yorkie, the others are australian shepherds. We also have foster dogs coming in and out of the house all the time, but its always nice to go back to having just our four.
