Well...Don...I don't want to scare you but the MAINTENANCE is the hard part - when a yorkie doesn't want their teeth brushed ...Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't pry open their mouth ...
There is a few yorkies who are really good about getting those little itty bitty teeth brushed - but let me tell you - you'll wonder where they get that power to clamp those lips shut so tight you can't FIT the brush in there ...Tell your vet to give you a finger brush AND a good toothbrush if they send you home with goodies...That's when the REAL fun starts !
