I don't know about pee-pads but as for walking him - not until he has ALL of his shots. Yorkshire Terrier books have a list of everything thing he'll need, when he needs it. The vet(s) I went to previously never suggested anything, they always asked what I wanted done, so having that list of vaccinations was a life saver. (btw that's a sign of a bad vet!)

I have a client that has me take her puppy in the backyard instead of walking him until he has all his shots. Some people don't even let their pups set paw out of the house until they're vaccinated though... the safest backyard is one that no other animals have access to, as some things are highly contagious.

As for the crate, you'll probably need the smallest one. My boy is big as far as yorkies go (11 lbs) and a medium crate is like a mansion for him. =)
