What are the essentials for an 8 week yorkie puppy?

My family will be getting a new little yorkie puppy next week. I was wondering what the must haves are that are needed to bring this into our home. If any insight could be given, that would be appreciated. Thanks.

hello. my mum has a yorkshire terrier too. is it a miniture one?
you need all the same stuff that any puppy needs.
basket
food and water bowls
food (puppie)
toys
i wouldnt get it a collar just yet as they carnt go outside till they have had all there injections
lots and lots of newspaper
and lots and lots of love and patience

also they are long haired dogs (dont shed hair) so you will need to have his/her's hair cut. also as they are long haired dogs when the dog soils (poo's) sometimes it ets stuck on ther fur around its bottom so if that happenes then you will need to try and get it off.
yorkies are really really loving dogs that are full of energy but can also be quite snappy.
good luck with the puppy, they are realy really hard work but well worth it!

Here is a list that I found, hopefully this will help you. Enjoy your new baby. !!!!

Collar and Leash
While most new dog owners pick a leash and collar based on appearance, you should take into consideration the functionality of the equipment and the type of training you plan to do with your dog. Find recommendations for choosing a dog collar and dog leash for your puppy.

Dishes for Food and Water
Every puppy supply list should include quality dishes for food and water. There's a wide variety of materials and styles to choose from. You should pick bowls that work with the physical characteristics of your dog such as an elevated dish for bigger dogs or a tapered bowl for those with long ears.

Indestructible Chew Toy
Puppies like to mouth and chew on things, so have a few chew-approved items around. You don't want to come home to teeth marks on your chair legs or the shredded remains of new running shoes.

Dog Crate
Crate training is the easiest way to foster good house training habits. A crate can also serve as a safe, comfortable place to keep your puppy while you're away from home or when you travel with him.

Grooming Tools
These are puppy products that are often overlooked, but they're a necessity for nearly all dogs. Even if your puppy will be professionally groomed, you should buy a brush and nail clippers. Regular grooming sessions not only keep your dog's coat healthy, they help build his trust in you as pack leader.

Name Tag
No puppy or dog should be without an id tag. Whether you opt for a simple name tag, a tattoo, or an implanted microchip, make sure your puppy can be traced back to you if he's ever lost.

This is a basic list of supplies for a new puppy, but you may want to have other items on hand to make caring for your pet easier. A pooper scooper, a folding gate to confine your puppy to a particular room, and chemical deodorizers for accidents are all good purchases.

It's not necessary to spend a lot of money on a puppy product to keep your pet happy. Once you have the essentials, wait a few weeks and see what else he needs. You don't want to buy something that never gets used. Also, your puppy can quickly outgrow collars, crates, and other items so purchase with his adult size in mind.
