hey! i'm from nj too! romeo is my first dog ever. he's the best part of my life. we do wee wee pads and go outside. the combo works best imo. my advice would be get her used to bathes and grooming young. yorkies are picky eaters. get her on a healthy kibble early. get a lookout carseat for the car. we were in a bad car accident and it saved romeos life. use a harness not a collar. (tigers mom sells really cute harnesses) i'm so happy for you. yorkies are awesome! good choice!
