Great site and wanted to ask a couple questions,
We will be picking up our 11 week old yorkie on Saturday. I am not use to having a small dog. Always was raised with German Shep's but my 9 year old daughter wanted a small dog to play with when she is over at my Apt.
At first I was like HA!! my buddies would laugh at me walking a small dog "not manly enough". NOWAY in the world I would EVER own a small breed dog. Well a few months ago I met a Yorkie over at a friends house and I couldn't believe how fast that little girl won me over!! If I could of taking her home I would of LOL. I was in LOVE. So I started my search. Much to my surprise I couldn't believe what crazy breeders were out there peddling "Yorkies".
I found a couple breeders within a couple hour drive, so my daughter and I were off to see them. I refuse to ship a pup sight unseen and not able to met the parents or breeder. Some say its ok but that's not my style.
So after meeting the 2 breeders, I felt really comfy with the one we went with. So were picking the little girl up Saturday. My daughter was heart broken we didn't bring her home that day but I NEVER take money when I go look at a pup. Stops the urge to impulse buy.
Ok back to my questions.
Since I work during the day I was thinking of hiring a dog walker to come in once a day to let the pup out to potty and play with her for an hour. Should the sitter also feed the pup?
