how much does a Maltese puppy and a Yorkshire puppy cost together?

$800-1200 each for pet quality puppies from a reputable breeder.. (of course, you wont likely find a breeder who has both breeds)

so to get 2 puppies.. you’re looking at $1600-2400… not including shipping costs.

Number 1; its a bad idea to get two puppies at once.
N umber 2; Small breeds particular maltese and yorkshire terrier are ALREADY very difficult to housetrain on their own. Having two small dogs together-its going to make HOUSETRAINNING AND OBEDIENCE TRAINNING JUST AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK

NUMBER 3; ITS BEST TO GET THEM SEPERATE, TRAIN THEM UP AND COMPLETE THE HOUSETRAINNING AND HAVE THEM WELL SOCIALISED, WELL BEFORE YOU GET ANOTHER PUPPY IN.

Why two puppies at once is a bad idea?
I am constantly asked if I think it’s a good idea to buy two puppies and raise them together, or people ask what I think about getting their older dog a puppy to keep the older dog company. My answer is simple – “NO!!! It’s a BAD IDEA!!” In fact, I will not sell 2 of my puppies to people that want to raise them together. This is a road to disaster. There are a number of reasons for this:

1. Its hard enough to raise one pup and give it the socialization that it needs, much less two. Pups end up only getting 1/2 of the amount of time they need to be properly socialized.

2. Dogs are pack animals. This is a much stronger drive than the average pet owner understands. People think that their little puppy comes from an animal that has been socialized for thousands of years, so how could this have any negative effect on them.

3- When puppies are raised together they become what we call DOGGY. This means they look at the other dog as their buddy and not the human that owns it. Dogs that are raised to run together NEVER develop the kind of human bond that they would have had if they had been raised in a one dog family.

4- These dogs are more difficult to train. Because they don’t have the strong human bond, they don’t have the desire to please. In fact they often become stubborn

All dogs have a very strong pack instinct. The more dogs in a pack the stronger the instinct becomes. Raising 2 dogs together means an elevated pack drive, raising 3 dogs means an even higher pack drive. Pack drive issues mean RANK ISSUES within the pack. Establishing RANK can often mean dog fights. Don’t kid yourself that your 5 pound little lap dog will not fight with its 5 pound littermate. This can become a big deal. This means dog fights when the dogs reach maturity (18 to 30 months of age).

If you wonder what the worse case scenario could be, read my article about a pack of 3 Rotts that killed an 11-year-old boy . The owner is now serving 12 years in prison for murder and I am proud of the fact that my testimony helped put her there. So elevated pack drive means that one or more of the dogs are going to try to become the alpha dog. This means dominance problems with the other dogs, family members and guests. It results in dogs becoming more territorial and more aggressive. People can have more than one dog if they do it right. I currently have 10 or 12 dogs and we are raising 3 puppies. But they are all kenneled separately and we do not allow them to play together. The only time I ever recommend 2 or 3 dogs being together is when there is the PACK LEADER there that the dogs respect to control their behavior.
