| My first yorkie! Hello everyone! My sweet hubby is taking me to pick up our first yorkie Friday! I'm so excited! It's going to be a 6 hour drive one way to get her, but judging by all the posts on this site, it will be worth it |

| Woo hoo!!! Congratulations on your new Little-one-to-be - it certainly will be worth the journey, I'm sure you're going to enjoy every moment of your new lives together! On a practical note - please ensure you're fully equipped for that long journey home. It's all strange and new for your Littlie, she/he might be nervous and sicky, even wriggly (Harry was ). A car-carrier might come in handy for you. Some wipes and towels might be worth packing, plus of course food + water + nutrical.....oh my, it's like having a newborn baby! Enjoy every moment, and please keep us posted! Sally + Harry x |

| Thank you!! Thanks for the advice too, I didn't even think about the possibility that the lil tyke could get car sick! I'm so glad you suggested bringing wipes. I already ordered a cute purse carrier and tomorrow we're going to shop for food, bowls, a bed, and hopefully some really cute little clothes to keep her warm ^^ |

| Congratulations on your new baby. I hope you are buying from a reputable breeder. There is a lot of good information in the "sticky" areas of each part of YT. There is also a library that you can find information in. While there are a variety of different training methods, purchasing a puppy from strong healthy stock is always the best way to start the Yorkie experience. |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Congrats! It is so wonderful. Make sure you post pics Make sure you bring paper towels, garbage bag. And a jug of water. Just in case she gets sick. Also bring a few pee pads. You are going to have to let her potty. You do not want to walk her at a rest stop. There is a lot of other dogs that have been there and they can carry diseases. |

| Won't she be protected by her vaccinations 2 weeks after she's finished her puppy series, though? |

| Congratulations! How exciting. Welcome to the YT forums. How old is your pup? And does she have a name yet? Please post some pics when you can.

| Oh and if she has had all her shots and last one has been over two weeks, she will be fine.

| The breeder sent me this picture today. She calls her Pumpkin, but I'm pretty sure we'll change that lol. I'm thinking Lilly right now, but I'm going to meet her before I name her officially. Today hubby and I picked out a leash and harness and a really cute brush and comb set that has a lady bug on it and says "Little Lady" on them I tried finding clothes for her, but I couldn't find anything smaller than an XS (the breeder said she'd probably be around 5 pounds full grown) so I'm just going to have to make them; poor girl! Oh, and she is 14 weeks old |
