Hi everyone,

I am thinking about getting a yorkie as a first pet. I am really excited, yet nervous at the same time. I've been around yorkies before and I absolutely love them. Can you guys give me any tips or suggestions for a first time buyer? I want to make sure I am making the right decision and am doing as much research I can as a first time buyer.

For example:
1. how often do you have to take your dog to the vet
2. how much time do you need to spend with your dog? I go to school about 5 hours a day, is it ok to leave it at home for that time?
3. how much should i expect to spend on my puppy? how much do vet bills cost?
4. How often do they need to get shots?

..and anything else you guys think I should know!!

Thanks so much!
