I used a baby play pen for Peeka and i'm using the same one for Daisy it is wonderful it's cozy and has lots of room for a bed and toys it also keeps them out of trouble and from peeing when i can't watch her every second i say get one. even though your puppy is big you ban still use it through thew toughest time the potty trining he may out grow it but Peeka is 4 lbs and i still put him in it and he fits fine. you have to remember they make them for toddler babies and they get way bigger than any yorkie does so i say YES!!
BTW mine has mesh on the sides and i haven't had a problem with scatching or bite through |
