We already found a little girl that is beyond precious and she has the perfect temperment for us... I was wondering if you could offer any advice? I read that we should check under her hair to see the color of her skin to make sure she is healthy and also to check the inside of her ears. We will be doing this the next time we see her.

We were planning on buying a crate and a pen for her. Can anyone reccomend any or sizes? Are there things we should be looking out for or need to know?

Thanks so much and Im really excited to be here!

Are you planning to crate train your yorkie? If so, then the crate should be just big enough that she could lie down and turn around in. You don't want to get a crate too big or else she may go potty in it. Also if you plan to crate train you should only leave her in for few minutes first and then slowly increase it to hours to get her adjusted (no more than 3-4 hours). For my furbabies, I tried crate training but just couldn't do it b/c I felt really bad and I ended waking up every 1 hour during the night to check on them. Eventually I just ended up gating up the bathroom until they were potty trained on the pee pad. Good luck!
