Hi, I am new here & happy to have found you. I have had 3 Shih Tzu. One has passed & my other two are 10 y/o (11# female we rescued at age 3) & 12 y/o (a big boy at 20#). I have never had a Yorkie. I should be picking up our new furbaby on Friday. She will be almost 12 weeks old. Her parents are 4.5# & 5#. It has been many years since having a baby & I would appreciate any advice you can give me & any advice that may apply to a Yorkie in particular.

Are there any items that you have found that were extremely helpful with raising a Yorkie? What about diet/food??

How should I go about introducing the puppy to my two older Shih Tzu?

Are there any Yorkie books that you feel are particularly helpful? I found 3 at Pet Smart on the breed.

Sorry, I have so many questions.
