My First Yorkie!!!!! Hello all I am getting my first Yorkie this saturday. I found this site only yesterday but it has been helpful beyond belief, sooooo after taking peoples advice and a special thanks to Amber, I went out and this is what i bought. Nutrical Royal Canin Puppy 33 A cute pink harness /w leash Wee Wee Pads PlayPen(I am building it now :-) ) A small bell (so i can always know where she is) A Bow Bowl Sooo this is what i have so far, I wanted advice from you guys as to what else i should get. Dont worry about the toys im getting a bunch soon enough :-). I am starting to read the advice threads religously so my little girl will be healthy. I am taking her straight from the airport to the vet, I am getting a regular check up. And on monday when a vet i know comes in to work i will do poop tests etc. So please tell me what else is needed, any advice, and I cant wait to post pics of my cutie pie. Also, this dog is going to be mine and my girlfriends. We are debating between two names Roxy or Lexi. I wont tell you who wants what but let us know what you think THANKs!!!! |
congratulations have no advice, but just want to welcome you to YT and tell you that either name is great! You will love being a "Yorkie Dad"... |
You want to get them used to being brushed (both hair and teeth) while they are young so they don't fight you later, so I suggest a comb and tooth brush. Congratulations!!! I agree with Janie, I like both names. |
ohh thats great thanks how often do you brush hair and teeth also we built a bed for her :-) i got a nice piece of the memory foam matress and we put nice material around it so its nicer than some peoples beds :-) |
:) You are gonna love having a yorkie, they are the BEST!!! Welcome to YT! I love the name Lexie:thumbup: My yorkie loves to be head of the household literally on the back of my couch and stand on my head or shoulder. :D Have fun with your new baby! |
Hi guys glad to see you posted!! sounds like you are off to a great start!!:thumbup: Now u just need you baby yay!!:D |
It depends on their coat and teeth. Some have bad teeth (like my Gus) that need to be brushed every day some only do it a few times a week. Same with the hair, it depends if they matt easily or not. |
Hey Robert Glad to see you are posting! Congrats! |
Welcome to YT! You may also want to grab. Cleaning solution (I think its called Natures Miracle) to clean up accidents Treats (Yorkie Yummies from chattiesmom are GREAT) Blankets (really inexpensive in the baby section at Walmart) and don't forget a toy! |
Congratulations (to you and your girlfriend) and welcome to yorkie talk.. the people here are amazing and very knowledgable. To add to your list...I would get some shampoo/conditioner.. either a puppy shampoo that is tear free or I think a lot of people use some type of dog shampoo (whichever you choose) on the body and then use baby shampoo on their head, which is tear free. I would also invest in some nail clippers. Being owned by a yorkie is amazing... be careful though, they are addicting! oh, my vote is for Lexi.:D |
Welcome to YT, congrats on your new puppy, and good luck! Both of those names are really cute. I'm partial to Lexi because I plan to name one of my future yorkies that. Another thing to add to your list is a good stainless steel comb. You'll need to brush/comb your little girl out every day to prevent tangles and matts. And you want to get her used to it early |
Oh i forgot to add i vote for ROXY!! |
thanks these are all great will do btw no walmarts in nyc :-) but i got the blankets and i just need treats and comb and shampoo |
I would love to see pictures of the bed and playpen you made, sounds like your new pup is going to be one spoiled girl :) Really it seems you have all the essentials to get you started. I found that when I got my first yorkie baby I couldn't shop enough or buy enough for her. Thankfully that slowed down because I was draining my account. LOL Welcome to Yorkie Talk! I vote for Lexie but really like both names :thumbup: |
Welcome to YT! Congrats to you! You ll bring a sweet little bundle of love to your home :) The name Lexi sounds nice :D |

__ As far as other things go, it sounds like you have it covered! Just give her lots and lots of love. If you have any questions, the YTers on this board are MORE than willing to help. All you have to do is ask! Welcome to YT. :) |
i will put the pics up when she is already situated :-) and thank you |
Welcome to YT I have only been here a week and I am speechless at how awesome this site is.... I can give you medical advice.... Please do this please and then read my thread and you will know why! Have your baby x rayed the normal cost is $80.00 this is to know that she does not have ATLANTIS AXIAL SUBLUXATION IT IS A BIRTH DEFECT THAT DOES NOT SHOW UNTILL THEY ARE 6 MONTHS OLD OR 4 MONTHS AT THE EARLIEST AND IF I HAD OF HAD X RAYS I WOULD HAVE KNOWN.. I cant wait to see all your babies furniture. I am partial to Lexi .. I know she will be one spoiled baby... Look forward to her growing years right here on YT! Blessings Bleus Mommy |
i wanted to know what you guys think its kinda cold in nyc right now and in the room she will spend most of her time, i was thinking of getting a small heater setting it to about 80 or so and aiming it towards her play pen area, it will be outside her pen so she cant touch it, because i know if its cold for me it def. has to be cold for her. |
Welcome To YT Robert!!! I have a suggestion for a name, why not call her Bobbie? I think that would be so cute, Daddys' little furbaby. Best of luck, post pics ASAP |
Welcome to YT! Can't wait to hear all about your new furbaby. I would go w/Lexi (I am partial to that name - it is my daugthers name):aimeeyork |
