I am new to the Forums and will be a new Grandmother to a baby boy around March 6th. My daughter and son in law will be getting a new male yorkie and we need help on a couple of questions.
we are not new to yorkies we had a female for 13 years and lost her 2 years ago . We did make alot of mistakes with our last so my daughter would like to do it right this time .
Holly was paper trained or so we thought .We could never take her anywhere because she would mess in the house . My daughter would like info on the PEE PADS do they work . We live where it is very cold and have alot of snow so outside training for winter seems cruel

ALso should we use a crate? Holly was Gated in our kitchen but could jump the 5 foot gate and meet us at the door each night . This was not good on her little legs and knees.

The breeder had the MAMA and 4 pups in a large crate . It had water food and papers in the front for the pups. Is this a good idea and should she use a crate to keep the little guy safe.
Any help would be appreciated
