You will need Patience, patience, patience, a harness and leash, Nutrical, more patience, a crate if you are going to crate train, Toys that don't have eyes or nose that can be chewed off and swallowed, more patience, pee pads (Walmart sells 32 for $6 something), do not buy any rawhide treats, nail trimmers (if you can trim them yourself....need done frequently), gentle puppy shampoo (never every let your pup catch a chill...make sure he is completely dry after bathing and watch you don't burn him with the blow dryer), a good quality puppy food with as little corn as possible (makes Yorkies itchy), A good vet, lots of love, and......did I mention patience? Do not give your puppy grapes. A Yorkie pup will put anything and EVERYTHING in their mouth. Remember that some house plants are deadly to animals if ingested. Nothing should be on the floor, even a little rubberband can prove deadly. Don't let your pup play unattended until they get older and know right from wrong. They are tons of fun and give lots of love and kisses....however, it is like having a 2 year old toddler roaming around your house....make it a safe place.
