Congrats!
The best advice I ever got on raising a Yorkie was that their main objective is to train US...
Since they are so small, Nutridrops and a good Vet who is familiar with the breed-
Our last Yorkie was advertised as a 'Teacup' and ended up a healthy 9 lbs-
This new guys at 5 months is 4.2...normal weight...
They are naturally small, but grow QUICKLY! Good luck and welcome!
We never used a crate for either of ours- you'll find they're pretty brilliant-but willfull!
Take precautions if you have to leave him alone-and if you do use the crate, make sure its small enough so that he cant stick his head or a paw through the grating!
