Hi everyone,
I'm new here and still learning how to navigate the site and go thru all the threads. Basically just trying to learn everything I need to know to raise my new lil bundle of joy!

I was wondering if there was a book specifically for Yorkies that u would recommend me purchasing. I havent had a puppy in nearly 14yrs(although ive always had dogs up until dec. 07). So i am kinda new with the whole training, housebreaking, grooming (of a yorkie) thing. Id love to learn just more in general about the upkeep of this breed. Like, basic things i need to know about how their hair should be kept and cut (cut by a groomer not me of course). also, read a thread about their ears need to stand up or something. Before getting my lil girl i thought i was well prepared in raising her but the more i peruse this site the more i realize im in the dark about keeping her up to breed standards (ears need to be up? i have to shave her puppy hair off??? huh?)

So please, any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Im sure there isnt a yorkie "bible" out there but any good books on them would help tremendously.

Thanks in Advance!
Have a great weekend!
