You have recieved great advice. I am in agreement to have your new pup in an expen , so he/she has plenty of space. Also use potty pads , since you guys will be gone . Be sure to free feed A high Quality Premium Puppy food , kibble that can be left out all day for your baby. Little yorkie pups are prone to hypoglcemia which can be deadly . Fresh clean water is a must too.
I'd also suggest bringing home your pup during A weekend so you can be there the first few days . Bonding is very important to any kind of pup, and you do not want separation anxiety in your pup. I also woryy about lonliness , which I believe can be dealt with leaving a shirt with both of your smells on it in for your pup in the pen. Even leaving A radio on or tv may help ease your new pups fears of being all alone. Especially if the pu has been with littermates and mom all its life.
This may save you from future behavioral problems. If their is anyway you or your husband could come home or a friend or realitive go over to your house just to make sure the pup is ok, and give the pup attention, and extra love that will also help .
I found out that My Yorkie pup is A lot like A human infant. Very needy and wants the closeness of human contact. AND I am virtually home most of the time! She still prefers the human contact and wants to be near me the majority of the time, even when asleep.
I do not know if this is the nature of the breeed, or if it is because she is A pup, however, My Suzi is 8 months old and is happiest when she is near us at virtually all the time.
