Hello all,

I will be adopting a YorkiePoo this Saturday, He is 7 weeks old (I understand that that is young but the breeder has certain circumstances)

I just had a few questions since this will be my first puppy!

1. Being that the puppy is between 6-7 weeks old are there any specific things I should do so that the puppy does not lose skills that it would gain from their mother for those additional 2 weeks? (I read a lot about this online and honestly it's scaring me that by getting the puppy so early I may be a determinate to his health)

2. I work from 9-4 PM everyday and occasionally I'll either work later in the am (10 am) or work from home - Is it okay to leave the puppy in a crate which is connected to a xpen for them to play in? Any advice on this?

3. What type of foods should I be feeding it?

4. Any tips for potty training?

Honestly anything would help! I've been on the internet and reading puppy books for the past week, I just want to make sure that I am ready for this puppy.

Thank you!
