I'm going to be getting a Yorkie puppy in about two months, and I'm new to this site. (Pardon my mistakes, I'm a newbie to things like this! Please be patient!)
I need tips on properly leash training a Yorkie pup, I've never done it before, and bathing them properly. (They have sensitive skin, right? I've heard they do.) I've owned a Yorkie before, but that was two years ago and I wasn't the most responsible owner. (I was still living under my parents' limitations as to what I could and couldn't do for my dog.) Now, though, my dog of fifteen years is in horrible condition and dying, so I had a breeder friend of mine put me on the waiting list for the litter that is coming at the end of April. Is $600 a reasonable price for a male Yorkie pup? (The breeder's dogs are all AKC registered and the pup comes with puppy forums and papers.) The last time I got one from a breeder, he was only $250, and he was the last of the litter.
I currently have three dogs: fifteen year old Lab/Shepherd mix, seven year old Shih-Tzu, and a two year old Terrier/Italian Greyhound mix. I was going to use the leash trained Shih-Tzu for training the pup, but will that work or will it be harder? I'm willing to do all I can, of course, but I don't have a lot of patience. (I am a bit impatient sometimes, but others I can deal with it well!)
Thank you for the help in advance!
