Right now I am brushing her daily with a slicker brush little this one:

I have been doing a lot of online research and I haven't very found an helpful guide, so I was thinking about picking up Yorkshire Terriers For Dummies. Please recommend some site or some Yorkie books. Thanks.

Hi Christy! Welcome to Yorkie Talk! And congratulations on you new baby! We hope you will post photos of all your fur babies soon!

Having books dedicated to the breed is terrific (I have them too) but I think you will find answers to most of your questions here. It's great you are brushing her daily, you already know that the trick with the babies is to get them used to the grooming as soon as possible since they need a lot of grooming as their coat grows. I prefer the pin brush over the slicker myself plus the metal greyhound comb (the one with two different teeth spacing on one comb).

You should also get an electric moustache clipper (for people) to trim the hair off the ears, paws and the bikini areas.
