my husband and i are getting our new addition in 12 days!!! We are so excited. I've been searching around the boards to see if i could get answers to all my questions, and i ended up going in circles...so, if anyone has advice for first-timers, we would be so appreciative.
I've been researching/reading so i will be prepared, but i felt that the best advice would be from mommies and daddies who have yorkie babies.
Here are a few things we are curious about:
- advice for her first night in her new kennel.....
- what's the best brand/type of dog food to feed her....
- when is a good time to start training....
- anything you think is usful for a first time mommy and daddy to know...

Thank you all so much!

congrats on your new baby.
for her first night home i would put her little kennel
on the floor right next to your bed and put a towel over the sides. That will make her feel more secure at bedtime. Bring a small hand towel or blankie when you go pick her up and ask the breeder if she can rub it on the mom and bedding to pick up the scent and place that in her her kennel..
i think you should keep her on the same food the breeder is feeding for at least the first month then if you want to change you want to look for a high quality grain free puppy food and gradually make the switch.
yorkie puppys are very smart, you can start training as right away.
hope this helps
