If you have any tips on anything about yorkies please let me know!
Here are some of my main questions:
When can I start dressing her?
I dressed my ZoE within a day of bringing her home..because it was winter time.
And putting bows in her ears?
Try putting bows on her hair instead of in her ears! I started a "topknot" very young. It looked rediculous, but served the purpose of getting her used to it right off the bat.
How do you shave the ears?
Using clippers. The Wahl Peanut is a good clipper for this and it's cheap, and small & easy to use.

Is 14oz tiny or big for her age?
That seems pretty small to me, but my ZoE was the biggest in the litter from the get go & is still big. The usual advice is to double the 12 week weight or triple the 8 week weight as a way to estimate the future adult weight.

Anything else is very much appreciated thanks!

Zoey
