Im getting a Yorkie puppy in a couple weeks and I was wondering all would I need for it? Also what would be the best puppy food?
Thanks!
Crate
Leash
Collar
Bed(make sure its machine washable)
ID tag
Food bowl
Water bowl
Toys
Teething Toys
Bitter apple
Clicker(if you want to do clicker training)
Treats for training(I usually just cut up pieces of hot dog into tiny pieces)
Bones(make sure to supervise when giving these to her/him)
Dog food(I’ve heard good things about blue dog food, I want to switch my dog over to that)
Grooming supplies(slicker brush, comb, flea comb, entangling spray, dog toothpaste, tooth brush, eye solution, cotton balls, ear solution. you don’t need all of those at once but its good to have)
Preventive medicine(heartworm, flea/tick)
Make sure that you get your pup to the vet asap for a check up and any shots it may need. Also start training basically as soon as you get it, it’ll help form a bond between the two of you.
Once he/she has all its shot sign yourself and your puppy up for a puppy class and also I’d suggest crate training as a form of house breaking, there’s tons of info on it on google.
Why on earth would anyone want to "buy" a mutt when you can get one from a shelter that EXACTLY the same for $150 or less and they come with shots, worming and a spay/neuter.

I have to do a report on an animal, and I picked a yorkie. One of the questions in my report is, how many puppies can a yorkie have in one litter on her first time. can you guys please tell me the answer? thanks
It doesn’t matter if it’s a third litter, or first. The number of puppies depends on how many eggs were shed, fertilized, and carried to term. So, in other words 1-? You should really be doing your OWN homework, ya know.
Add: I get it now, since I just looked at your *Yorkie* question from TWO months ago. Shame, shame, shame.

I have a little yorkie 1 and half years. and she is a little girl. she is a very lovely dog but her hair is not very long. I cut her hair once when he was about 7 months old. until now her hair still very short about 13cm long. just covered her body but not like other yorkies have very long hair almost reach the floor. I know hair is a genetic thing. I tried cod liver oil to feed her but it seems not work well. is there any other way I can do to make her hair become longer? thanks very much!!!
Depends on your dog, also depends on your breeder.
Yorkies don’t fully mature (coat & color wise) until they reach 2 – 3 years of age, that means that the coat will not automatically be the length of champions.
One thing I would suggest is find a shampoo/conditioner that works for you (I know many show kennels that would recommend Yorkie Splash & Shine, I too would recommend it), and start putting the coat in wraps and really just taking care of it.
There are many articles on Yorkie hair care, but here is one that I find very reputable and might be of interest to you:

Good Luck with your baby!

I just bought a parti female yorkie. She’s all white. I’ve seen advertised parti yories and biewer yorkies while I was searching. And I cannot find out anywhere what the difference is. My dog is a full bred yorkie and I have her papers.
They are both just badly bred dogs bred by unethical backyard breeders/puppy mills.
The history of Biewers is so sparse most likely because of the poor breeding practices that were used to develop the "breed". Mixing breeds, inbreeding, and breeding for colour over structure or health.
The piebald gene is a recessive gene, meaning that mass inbreeding usually takes place to get it to occur regularly in litters.
Yes, you can get AKC papers for a parti-yorkie, but the dog cannot be shown as the colour is undesireable. Hopefully you didn’t pay too much for such a dog. I’m sure she’ll be a great pet, but if she’s from a backyard breeder who made this out to be special, expect a lifetime of hereditary problems.
I’ve been looking for a Yorkshire Terrier for the longest time, and have had no luck so far. I’m trying to find one to adopt, but i’m starting to believe that’s impossible these days.
Do you know anyone that breeds Yorkshires or Shorkies, and will give one up for adoption?
I was raised around dogs, and treat them like family. Not like an animal.
I’m desperate. Thank you!
There is a HUGE dog show in Calgary the long week-end in August. At the same site there is the Toy Specialty. I can guarantee you there will be Yorkie breeders there.
It’s at Shouldice Park, the show is Fri thru to Monday, but the Toy Specialty is Saturday.
The only way I know is by a plane if your in Hawaii, but that would cost like $150.
Sorry, but that’s probably the only way!
My yorkie plays with her toys on my bed and she drops them off the bed every two minutes and then whines until I pick it up for her. I have tried setting her down to pick it up herself but now every time I try to set her down there she backs up and squirms. I have tried ignoring her but she just keeps going forever until I pick it up. Any ideas on good ways to train her? Other than this she behaves very well.
My Yorkie does this too! Because you have responded to her whines enough times, you have unwittingly trained her to think whining will get her toy back for her. My Yorkie will get her toy, bring it to me, and whine until I pick it up and throw it. I think her little growl/whine is super cute, so I let her do it a lot before I’ll pick it up. If I do not feel like playing fetch anymore, I will usually put it up in one place consistently (top of the TV) and say "No" in a strong voice. Sometimes she will go sit by the TV and whine, but every time she whines I say "No" again, and after maybe 2 times, she gets it. She is beginning to associate the toy on the TV means no more playing. Good luck, Yorkies are really smart, yours should get the idea soon enough! =)
