I wouldn't be as confident at putting a toy puppy of any breed in the basement unless I was sure I could hear them if they needed me. Toy puppies can get hurt a lot faster and a lot worse than a larger puppy. I wanted her to know it doesn't last forever, they do grow up. My Sawyer didn't sleep with us until he was out of the puppy stage and started to sleep through the night. Not all yorkies sleep with their mommys, that is a personal choice, the same as with all breeds, large and small. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I am just so in love with my yorkie that I think of them as a special breed  |
Our Maltese, even as an adult, would not always sleep through the night. There would be evidence in the morning that he got up for a drink of water or played with a chew toy. But he rarely woke us up in the middle of the night. He'd go back to sleep on his own.
