Hey everyone, I'm new here! I've been reading this message board ALL day (work was slow!) and I thought I'd introduce myself and ask a question! I'm a 21 year old student, and I'm going to get my first yorkie after christmas! This is my first time owning a pet on my own. When I lived with my parents I had 2 dogs but the whole family took care of them, so I'm a little bit nervous about being a good puppy mom! I've wanted a yorkie for about 2 years but this is the first time I've lived in a place where I could have a pet. My landlady said as long as it was little, not too noisy, and didn't shed, she was okay with it. So... I'm moving into this place at the end of december because I start classes in January. I have not seen the puppy yet but I have talked with the breeder and my dad is going to go see the puppy and give a deposit tomorrow to hold it for me. The breeder seems very reputable and both parents are champions. ANYWAYS i'm gonna get to my question now! What will I need RIGHT AWAY before I bring the puppy home? I know food, a crate, toys, and general things like that, but is there anything I might not have thought of?
ONE MORE question...
The breeder told me that the puppy isn't going to be really small, she said she's a little chubbier than her other puppies but she doesn't think she'll get any bigger than 6.5 lbs. This is fine with me, chubby puppies are cute! But I was wondering if any of you have yorkies that size, how tall are they approximately?
Thanks!
