How big will my yorkie get?

Thanks. I guess I was focusing on comfortis and trifexis (sorry for the spelling). My vet does offer that brand. I recall seeing it.

Do you by any chance have any recommendations on obedient/potty training? The other day I tried to teach her to sit, but she was to anxious to get the treat I was holding. She also seems to have a lot of "accidents" around the house still. We leave the door open for her, and take her out and place her in the grass several times a day, but we still keep finding random puddles.

You have to remember that at your puppy's age she is just starting to develop the ability to control her bladder. You can never leave an untrained puppy/dog unsupervised. A playpen is a good thing to have when you cannot watch her every minute. With my puppies I would put them on a leash and hook it to me. That way they were with me at all times and I could watch for signs that they had to go. If you do not catch those moments when they start to signal that they have to go then you are not going to get them outside in time to teach them why they are out there in the first place. If you just take them out whenever they have no idea what you expect of them. As soon as she does potty give her a reward and praise her then take her right back inside so she starts to connect what this trip outside is about.

Thank you! We currently do have a playpen for her right now, and we had also tried the fake grass (I personally did not like this at all), but I can see that keeping eye on her at all times is key. It's just hard because I feel guilty when I can't watch her and put her in her pen and she starts crying. I really appreciate this feedback!

Your Biewer is beautiful! I have a Biewer also who is 37 weeks. She weighs 3.5 lbs. The breeded told me she was charting to be 4 lbs but I see they don't always do what they are charting to be. Nice to meet you.
