A new puppy should be confined when you can't watch them at all times and especially while you are working. If they are left to roam your home while you are gone, you will come home to chewed up carpet, furniture and even worse, possibly electrical cords which could electrocute your baby. Please crate your yorkie or put him/her in an x-pen when you are unable to watch them for their safety and the safety of your belongings. All puppies are high maintenance and a yorkie probably more than others as they are such "people loving dogs" and due to their size most the time, require your undivided attention. All dogs and cats require puppy and or kitten shots with an annual rabies shot (depending on the laws in your state - could possibly be a rabies shot every 3 years instead of every year) as well as booster shots.
Good luck and congrats on your new addition - please read as much as you can in the training section and the general section of this forum and as much information as you can get on yorkies prior to bringing the little one home. |
Yeah! Please put her in crate/ xpen when you're not at home, it's for their safety!
Love when you said it's people loving dogs, heee!
