Thank you guys for the advice so far. I didn't buy it from a puppy store. It's a grooming botique and the owners have elderly neighbors that love their yorkies and breed them (so I guess it's considered a BYB). But the owners of the botique sell the two puppies so that the elderly couple didn't have to have strangers in their house. I saw pictures of the parents and of the elderly couple (I know that can always be deceiving and I went back and forth a bunch about whether or not to get her but after seeing her, I fell in love). And she wasn't shedding a bunch but when we left there were about 3 hairs on my shirt.
This site is great!
I have a couple of more questions if thats okay..I read the new puppy sticky note and I didn't see this in there. (Yeah, I am totally going to be one of THOSE moms)
1) I've seen a bunch of Nutri-Cal. Should I be feeding this to my puppy every day (she's 11 weeks yesterday) or just keep it on hand?
2)For crate training...when I am gone at work, I was thinking of having a gate put up in the guest bathroom. She'll have her food/water, litter box, bed, blankets and toys in there. But I want to have her crate with me in the bedroom at night so she can sleep near me. Should I put her crate in the guest bathroom during the day with her?
3) I read that Yorkies need to be put under anesthesia and have their teeth cleaned. How often do I need to have that done?
4) What dog food do you guys suggest? Right now she is on Eukanuba Small Breed Puppy food. Is that a good one?
5) What treats are best for yorkie puppies?
Thanks guys! |
