Some yorkies have itchy skin, while others don't. Generally, when they need bathing most all yorkies will get itchy. What I would do with your first bath is put a little warm water in the tub and be very gentle - see how she reacts. Don't let the water run full blast and scare her. If you are very gentle the first time and make it an enjoyable experience then you will help pave the road for weekly baths in the future where your little one won't be scared. If you do decide to use the sink, be very, very careful. They are very slippery and more than one yorkie has jumped and gotten seriously injured! Also, an oatmeal based shampoo is good for itchy skin.
