| Future Yorkie Mom Hi everybody!! I'm new here to YT and will be getting a yorkie baby soon. I've been in contact with a few reputable breeders in my area (super excited!!) and I was just wondering if anyone had any helpful tips as far as how to prepare or anything you guys think I should know. Thanks!! -Ally *the mommy to be* |

| Welcome to YT! How exciting for you You will get great suggestions here. I agree with the Yorkies for Dummies book Georgie had a Boxer sister and Yorkies are so different and not just size. Yorkies are amazing

| Oh there is so much fun to be had. There are a lot of "new puppy guides" on-line and in books. I made sure I had a little doggie bed, a blanket, toys, water and food dish, etc. With these two, I bought lots of stuff (one crate for each of them, a crate to share for the ride home and vet visits, an xpen, pee pads, baby gates to keep them in or out of rooms, harnesses, leases, ect) - probably went a little overboard, but... I made arrangements to pick them up on a Friday so we would have a few days together. One thing I have always had on hand with new puppies is a tube of puppy Nutrical. (It is basically sweet syrup for pups.) The first day or so your puppy may be a little stressed by the change in environment and may not eat or drink. A little drop of Nutrical a few times a day will help with sugar levels. Have fun getting ready for your new family member. Be sure to share a pic or two when the baby comes home. |
