Ditto to that. Bailey doesn't like being bathed, but he deals with it. I blow dry him while brushing him (you're not supposed to brush yorkies with a dry coat).

Yup, same here. Bailey is
ALWAYS under foot. I've had toy breeds before in the past and NONE of them have been on my heels as much as he is.
3. I use a wire crate with Bailey. He's in there at night when he sleeps and during the day when I'm not home. I don't have a pee pad in there, because he's doing well going potty outside and he's not in his crate for 6 hours at a time. I'm under the firm belief that if you work/have school/ect that leaves you away from home for 6-8 hours at a time, you shouldn't have a puppy. I don't mean this at all to offend, but I know of several breeders who won't even sell a puppy to someone who's going to be gone for that long daily. I for sure wouldn't want Bailey to be confined to his crate for that long. Have you thought about buying an adult yorkie? One who's already crate trained? And would be able to hold their bladders for 6 hours?
