New Yorkie Owners New first time puppy owners. Just looking for general advice. She's SOOO cute. Doesn't bark much either, except when we leave her room. Again, I just want general advice on what to do. |
Welcome to Yorkietalk! Congrats on your new puppy. :). How old is she? I got both my girls past the puppy stage. I got one at 6 months and one at 1 year old. I would suggest getting some Nutri Cal to keep on hand in case of low blood sugar. I would also get some teething toys if she is really young. I missed that stage with both my girls. :D. Also, has she been checked by your vet? With both of mine we took to the vet as soon as we got them. We got them started on thir heart worm meds, updated on shots, etc. You are at the right place to get advice. I have learned so much here! Again, welcome! |
Whats he name? How old is she? Can we see a picture? Patients is the best thing to have when getting a new puppy and sometimes coffee :) |

She'll bark soon enough! Give her some time to settle in. Good luck. |
Just keep in mind... That beneath that Silky Coated cuddly Couch Potato you're hugging, that there's the Heart of a Warrior, and Stone Cold Killer beating, who knows no fear, and is unsurpassed by ANY breed in it's bravery, intelligence and ability to TOTALLY love you. You should be SO proud that you chose the Yorkshire Terrier as your furever friend. |
Welcome to YT!:D also Congrats on the new addition to your family! |
Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Check out Yorkie Talks library it is full of wonderful information. |
Welcome to Yorkie Talk and congratulations on your new puppy! Each section of the YT forum has sticky posts with great information, and as others mentioned above, there is the YT library and great books to read. The best advice up front that I can think of is 1) Do the Yorkie Shuffle -- be careful where you step and sit....they can sneak up on you and get underfoot 2) Start training right away -- basic commands, potty training, grooming training. Be patient and consistent and work a little each day on these things. Short sessions are best. Touch your pup all over to get her accustomed to being handled for grooming. 3) Make sure your house is puppy proof. Review a list of dangerous substances and foods. Have emergency numbers and directions and your vet's info on hand. I blogged about new puppy supplies and basics here: New Puppy Supplies - Dog Life and Style Do you have any specific questions? Don't hesitate to ask! |
