| Newbie here! Hello all seniors! I just joined this forum! I spent months researching on the breed I wanna have as a pet and finally settled for the gorgeous cute lil' Please let me know what you think of the Yorkie baby! I am new to this and thus need some advice. I know this sounds funny but I am worried more of my pup's health. As in this sounds weird but I have fear that she may be crippled or unable to bark etc. My neighbor bought her beagle from pet store and he is crippled and needs long term medication for his anxiety treatment. Which makes me worried a lil' way too much! My breeder says she can only come home after her 10th week which I am totally fine. That gives me more time to prepare her new arrival! I just wanna know more if the pup needs to be de-clawed? Sounds weird but I think I read it from this forum and must I ask my breeder about this? What are the questions I need to ask my breeder? I had read the sticky but needed a lil more information. Thanks for all replies and comment! Enjoying my stay here! |

| Congratulations and welcome to YT! I bet you were reading about the dew claws somewhere in a post, not about being de-clawed. Never would total de-clawing a Yorkie be recommended. Do you have a name picked out for her yet? Your baby is very cute!

| Hi & Welcome! Dew claws should already be removed, as for the barking, some of mine have not barked at all till they were 9months old. Have you asked to see or have you seen the parents?

And I am so blur! Confused with declaw and dewclaw! I will go research more on that! Thanks once again! And Names... The more I read thru pages, the more names I want!!!! It's a tie between Bambi and Poppy. But Poppy sounds like Potty so if I am getting that name, I need to change command to Go Pee instead!!! | |

About you being first concerned with your puppies health. A woman after my own heart. That should first and foremost. Question/request.....Is it possible for you to ask your breeder to keep your pup until it is 12 weeks of age? YTCA Code Of Conduct All puppies leaving the breeders possession will be a minimum of twelve (12) weeks of age to facilitate adequate socialization as well as appropriate emotional and temperament development through interaction with siblings, dam and other dogs. ) Breeders will provide puppy buyers with written details of feeding, general care, date and types of a minimum of two (2) inoculations, as well as dates of wormings, grooming instructions, etc. and be available to offer future advice as needed. (the only way a pup can have a minimum of 2 inoculations is if it is kept for 12 weeks)

That's some new information for me.. The breeder did tell me that she will provide (1) & (2) for me. As for the innoculations, she did say she had given her a first shot. And she also state that she will give her another shot just before handling the pup to me. And it always occur to me that puppies are safe to be home after their 8 weeks. She told me that are prone to Hypoglycaemia (which I read up) and thus I need to prepare Light Karo Syrup. So yah will head your advice maybe get her around 12 weeks. Thanks for that!!! Really appreciate! | |

Best thing to keep on hand is NutriCal for hyperglycemia or NutriDrops. Oops! The advice I posted is not mine but, that of The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America. It's our Code of Ethics and Conduct.
