Get a hold of the breeder, ask about care and find out what food the pup is eating. Most breeders will send home a starter kit for the pup. and what shots the pup has had so far..NEVER , never let a Vet restart shots, that the pup has already had..as this can kill a pup.
You will need
Food
Small shallow food and water bowls.( nothing to deep so the pup can’t fall into it and drown.)
Toys/ Teething sticks.
Bedding (small pet crate). Take an extra small blanket or towel with you when picking up the pup and rub it on the mom. The scent will help settle the pup.
The pup will whine and fuss a few nights until it gets use to the new surroundings.
NutriCal (very important) a supplement if the pup is not eating right, seems weak, to prevent low blood sugar and death. If this happen give the pup the supplement and seek Vets help.
A good book on Yorkie puppies.
Puppy need rest just like babies.. Some will sleep and take naps.. some want to play to much. I always made mine take a naps after 45 mins to an hour when young.
Just don’t let the pup play to hard. Or handled by to many people for awhile.
keep pup away from other animals until the pup has had all it's shots.
Keep pup warm and out of drafts.
Good luck...on your new baby.
