Hello! Newbie here and am planning on bringing a female Parti Yorkie home close to the end of February! 😊 This is my first pup so I’m looking for advice. Questions that I’m hoping you can provide input on:

1. I have the option to bring her home between 8-10 weeks. Do you suggest one over the other?

2. I work full time and will be gone from 6:30am to 4:00pm. My plan at first is to run home during lunch around 10:30 or hire someone to come and check up on her while I’m away. Any suggestions there? Or will she be ok for that whole time if I can't? (also plan on getting a puppy cam)

3. With what I said above, do I crate train or set up a play pen/designated area for her where she can have puppy pads or a grass pad with food/water, toys and bed on the other side? Suggestions?

a. I could also set up a grass pad on the balcony but I would have to make sure she’s on the leash because there is a small opening. I suppose I could create a barrier of some sort.

b. Just looking for the best way to approach.

4. If I puppy pad train at first, is it easy to transition to outside when she’s a tad older?

I'm already such a worried mama!

Any advice on making this the best possible experience for both of us much appreciated!! Thanks in advance!! 🐶🐾❤️
