What do you think? Is the crate too small or just the right size for my puppy?
I take out the food bowl once she's done eating her meals and leave on its place a chewtoy. She has never pooped/peed inside, by the way, the newspaper is just there in case she makes a mess by pushing around her bowl with water. So far she has been very calm inside of the crate, but I'm also worried about her holding it for too long. I usually let her out to pee/poo around 11:30 PM and it's not until 6:00 AM that I wake up. I'd wake up earlier if she started crying, but she's pretty calm throughout the night.
She's about to turn 4 months old in the 26th, so I was also wondering if she's a normal-sized yorkie or a "teapot", since a lot of people have told us that she's bigger than the adult yorkies they have met. The vet told us she's past 2 pounds already, but after looking up in google I can't help but notice that she seems a tad bigger than the adult yorkies of that weight.
I'm mostly asking the later to start looking for a bigger crate that would accomodate a big yorkie. She's a good dog and her getting bigger would just mean that we would be less worried about our 8 years old Golden playing too rough with her. Our Golden grew up with an old dog (maltese/pom mix) that passed away when she turned 5, so she's already used to being around small dogs (and also puppies and tortoises), but she still gets a little bit too hyper despite her age.
