Hi guys! My name is Raechel. I'm new here. Here's the scoop:
I am going to be bringing home a Yorkie tonight from the local Animal Rescue League. He's just a little guy - 5lbs. His name is Fonzie (like the Fonz. He likes to show off for the ladies lol) and he is about 4 years old. I have done a TON of research on the breed... mostly through sitting back and reading threads in this community! So a big thank you is already in store for you wonderful ladies!
I haven't had a dog for a while, and he will be my very first Yorkie. What should I be shopping for for him? so far i have these things:
A super fluffy bed
I'm going to try Royal Canin breed specific food to start. The poor little guy has been on a handful of different foods because he is in a shelter, and I can tell it's not doing his belly any good!
little stainless bowls
a wire brush
shampoo for sensitive skin
leash
harness
collar with a little bell (so my big footed husband doesn't step on him) and ID tags
He is microchipped already and perfectly housebroken. What am I missing? Is there any specific products you guys recommend? I'm sure I'll be picking up a bunch of other things as I go... What should I expect when I bring him home? How often do you take your babies to the groomer?
I'm sure I'll be bugging you guys more once he is home
Thank you for any help and suggestions you have! I really appreciate it!
