Hi! Welcome to YorkieTalk! Please use a "puppy" shampoo that is tear-free. Biogroom makes a good one. Also, please make sure that your baby is kept warm afterwards. I like to throw a fresh towel in the dryer to warm it up. I bathe my babies weekly but they are older. Your baby is very young. She really should stay with her mom and littermates until she's 12 weeks old or around 2 pounds. It would really be beneficial to your baby if the breeder keeps her longer. I can't imagine why the breeder is letting these pups go so young. Please get some Nutrical and have it on hand at all times. Have you had Yorkies before? Toy breeds are different than larger breeds - especially Yorkies. When they're young/or very small they tend to use a lot of energy and they need to be monitored - just like an infant. They can go into a hypoglycemic episode very easily - which can cause death. Best Wishes....

and no Ive always had rottwielers this is my first toy. What do you mean excess? so should I just bathe her quickly? I heard not to bathe toys till they get like 8 or 9 weeks? Biogroom has two votes so I'll probably try this one. Where can I buy it? at like petco? or should I go to a private holistic pet supply place or just a specialty pet supply? idk. | |

I'm not sure where to buy it in your area but here's a link showing you what it looks like. You can google "Biogroom" and find it at other places. Some pet grooming places may carry it. PetEdge: Bio-Groom Fluffy Puppy Conditioning Shampoo 12 oz You'll use this while they're a puppy and any tearless shampoo for their faces as they get older. Because their coats change you'll probably use several different shampoos to try to match it up with your pup/adult dog's coat. Meaning if she ends up with a soft coat - you'll use product X. If she has a silky coat - you'll use product Y (etc.)

But just so anyone else who reads this knows (since I've received a few rude PM's from stuck up yorkie acult activists. about this controversial (OH NO! *gasp*) situation) I've found another breeder on this site with a CKC girl that I may get instead of this one since alot of you see many red flags with this breeder.

| I only use "Yorkie Splash" Shampoo and "Yorkie Shine" Conditioner that is made specifically for a Yorkshire Terrier's coat by a breeder who shows Yorkies It's made with all natural, ingredients and has a ph of over 9. It smells wonderful, and leaves Sophie's hair feeling silky soft and looking great. You can find it and read more about it on the "Yorkies of Walnut Hills" web site.

| Okay thanks! I'll look into the Yorkie Splash. and just to specify (I dont know how to edit it for some reason its not allowing me to edit the first page) The yorkie I'm interested in weighed more then my aunts WHEN she was 6 weeks. My aunts is like idk barely a pound and a half or something and she's like two years old. And I will be getting her if I do get this dog at 8 weeks... just to clear that up. but thanks for all the shampoo suggestions I really dont want her to get a rash or something as I've heard they can get from certain shampoo's. |

| Oh I can? Sweet! I will do that now. Also my friend just bought me Lulu Pink 'Get Groomed' Shampoo, Leave in Conditioner and Freshen Up Spritz. Does anyone know if that's a good shampoo? It isnt tearless like CJ125 was saying would be good. But it doesnt say there is an age limit on it like my flea shampoo does. Anyways if anyone can let me know it would be greatly appreciated. |

| I like Minksheen and you can get it online from member AMD here on YT I think the site is westbrookdog.com. I think there are other reps but I get mine there because that was what was reccomended to me. It is great cause it has a natural insect repelant, conditioner etc. Plus you can buy sample size to try it first. They also sell bully sticks at a great price......now rereading this it sounds like I am her personal advertiser but actually I do not "know" her just love the products and how fast I get things in the mail.

| I hear petsilk is good. In fact, I just placed an order on overstock.com. I order the moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. it comes with two bottles of shampoo and 1 bottle of conditioner all for $23.49. I also ordered the finishing collection, which comes with the topknot gel, cologne and finishing spray for $25.49. All together I spent about $48, which i think is a steal for all those products.
