Should I buy a larger crate, big enough to put his water and food bowl, a bed and toys? |
You don't want to keep food and water in the crate with the dog. It can make a mess and also will hurt potty training. If you think your yorkie will need the next size up as it grows, buy the bigger one and make sure it comes with a divider. That way you can give the puppy more space as it grows.
If the puppy is going to have to be left for more than a few hours at a time in the crate, you might want to get an x-pen..that way the puppy can have more room and access to food and water.
It all depends on how long you'll be gone during the day
