Hello...my name is Andrea and I have had Yorkies for 15 years. In April 2012 my beloved Kaylie passed away after 14 years of the best life I could have given her. She played and fetched till the end. When Kaylie was about 2 1/2 years old she had one puppy who I kept, named Kolby, he is now 12 and although a larger Yorkie, very happy and playful.
So after losing my Kaylie, my mom decided to give me her Yorkie puppy who was about 4 mos old, named Laci. She is about 3 1/2 lbs and truly saved me much heartache and filled a void in our lives, which I didn't think was possible. She has been the best Yorkie, loves going everywhere, loves people and playing with her little boyfriend Jagger who is also a 3 1/2 lb stud.
And finally, we decided to breed Laci and Jagger and are now blessed with 5, YES 5 little Yorkie babies! They are now 6 1/2 weeks old and we are loving every minute of it.
So now after a brief history...please any advice will be much appreciated.
We have decided to keep two of the puppies, the little runt, a girl (which Laci was also), and the first born, a big boy. The other 3 are going to close friends for a reasonable price, so we plan to keep them playmates for life.
I'm hoping to keep them together for the full 12 weeks like I've seen advised on here, although my one friend prob can't wait that long, lol...but I want to start pot training them the best way I can. They go for their first shots on Tuesday cuz they were too small to get any yet, but still can't go outside, so been reading about play areas and puppy apartments.
And since we will be keeping two along with our two, we will have 4 Yorkies in the house! Laci and Kolby have had the run of the house and sleep with us, but I am planning on crating the two I'm keeping when the rest go to their new homes and was wondering if I should crate the two puppies together or separate within their play area we made for them.
Sorry for the long post and I hope to meet some great people on here.
Thanks,
Andrea
