Thinking about getting a Yorkie pup for my daughters. Breeder has already started crating them (they are only 2 wks old). She will release them at about 7 weeks. My husband and I work, so we will have to crate her for 8-9 hrs per day. Is this ok? For the first few weeks I could come home at lunch time and let her out, but I couldn't do that indefinately. so maybe my question is more like- can I leave her for 4hrs, let her out at lunch, and then again when we get home at 5pm? And, will she begin to expect this as she gets older, b/c like I said, I can't come home for lunch forever!
thank you!
