| Impending Yorkie arrivial - leaving at home? On July 30th our puppy Piper was born. She'll be 7-8lbs fully grown and has her tail intact. She came from a reputable breeder that I saw recommended here. Quick question: In the first few weeks there will be two days a week where nobody is home for about 3-4 hours. We plan on crate training Piper, but wanted to know what we should do for these periods. Any advice would be appreciated. |

| I guess I should add a second question. We live in a one-bedroom condo and the living/dining/kitchen area is one large room. Should we put a puppy playpen in the room with her crate inside at the beginning? |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Congratulations. I think the playpen and crate will work nicely.

| Congrats on your new puppy ! I think best to keep her in a small area, easier to find her little presents later haha. Just curious how did you get the breeder to leave the tail intact ? Any chance you can share the name of the breeder ? (or PM me if you prefer) I'm slowly starting the process of getting a buddy for Charlie, and I'm trying to find a breeder that leaves their tails intact. I'm in BC, but my brother lives in Cambridge.. |

| CONGRATS!!!!!! I think the x-pen and small open crate would be the best idea for when she is left alone. |

As for the OP, a playpen works wonderfully It's easier to clean and your pup will have much more space to sleep, eat, potty and play.It's like their own little condo | |

| So the puppy is okay to be left alone during the day at home? |

| For 3 or 4 hours I would say yes ! You can always set up a camera if you want to keep an eye on her |

| We asked the breeder to leave the tail intact. She is doing this more and more, and does not like docking at all. Rigair Yorkshire Terriers CKC Reg. We breed only top quality yorkshire terriers |
