Welcome to Yorkie Talk! I want to commend you for doing your homework first, before getting your Yorkie. It will surely better prepare you for a becoming a new Yorkie mom.
I understand you have many questions, and I might suggest that you post them one or two at a time; you'll probably get more specific responses that way.
Age: 12 weeks should be the minimum age to bring home. Considering you have young children and a big dog, the older the pup is the better. They are incredibly small and easily injured, and will need your CONSTANT supervision to be kept safe. It is a huge responsibility you are taking on, and any accident can be devistating as well as very costly.
Food: Yorkies eat so little, find the best quality puppy food.
Teeth: Some retain baby teeth, some do not. You should know around 6 months, and can have retained teeth removed at the same time as neutering if necessary.
Favorite thing about Yorkies: Well, that would take all day to answer, so snoop around this site a bit and you'll get the picture.
Good luck, and keep doing research to make sure this is the right breed choice for you and your family. |
