| --Nutrical for Puppies --Quality Kibble (at least some of what the breeder is feeding, even if you want to change, that way you make the change gradually and not upset their tummies) --Water & food bowls --crate --several soft blankets --bed --x-pen or plastic play yard --pee pads --TOYS, preferably some made for teething puppies --brush & comb --harnesses, leash & a coupler so you can walk them together easier --Make sure you have a themometer that you can dedicate to the pups --A nice mild, quality shampoo and conditioner (Espree, Minksheen, etc....) --A carrier that both can fit in to take to vet and other trips --A couple of books on Yorkies and puppie training (you can check these out at the library and then find the ones you want to buy for reference). I think that could get you started. Then you will find dozens of other wonderful products as you continue yorkie ownership. Sometimes I think I spend more on them than I do on myself! But then, they are more fun!

| you miht want to put them in a x pen during the day instead of a crate- that is a long time for apuppy to be in a small space- the x pen will give them more room. |
