PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!!!!!

Before you read any further, make sure you realize that a Yorkshire Terrier is a high maintenance breed! They require alot of time, attention and human interaction. We do not recommend that you purchase a Yorkshire Terrier, especially a tiny if you are gone alot, have small children or if you do not plan on making him or her a part of your family.

Also know that this breed has a long life span, sometimes up to 20 years. That is a long time commitment, and should be thought out carefully before you purchase a puppy.

This is a guide and not a professional book.

Never feed a Yorkshire Terrier table scraps.  Never give your yorkie raisins, grapes, chocolate or onions as these foods can be very harmful.  Some Yorkshire Terriers have very sensitive digestive systems. They also have small throats and can choke very easily. Be careful of the rawhide chew toys and greenies and any plastic chew toy that a small piece can be chewed off and get lodged in their tiny throats or lodged in their tummies.

Yorkshire Terrier's tend to have low blood sugar. The smaller the Yorkie the longer this can occur. We keep Nutri-Cal and Kayro on hand for those emergencies.  Going to a new home can be stressful on these little babies and they may be nervous and not eat as much or be excited and explore there new home and surroundings and play to long and hard.  These are just a few instances that can happen and can cause the puppy's sugar level to drop.  For this reason, we recommend that when you take your new baby home, give him/her a small dose of Nutri-Cal at bed time and first thing in the morning for the first few days.  If they seem sluggish, shake, act drunk and wobbly, give them a dime size dose of nutri-cal on their tongue and call your veterinarian immediately.  Kayro Syrup is something we also recommend you keep in your pantry.  It will increase your puppies sugar level for those emergencies.  Consult your veterinarian right away if this occurs.  They can also advise you on the proper dosage for your puppy's size.
 

When your puppy comes home to you, he/she is already familiar with the puppy training pads.  We do not take them outside for potty training when they are so young because they have not been completely vaccinated.   If you choose to continue this form of potty training and use the Puppy Training Pads, you can get these products at Wal-Mart or your local pet store.
