PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

Before you read any further, make sure you realize that a yorkie is a high maintenance dog!  
They require a lot of time, attention, and human interaction!  Even my biggest pups are small.  
The tiney ones require extra attention, and a close eye on them.  I don't recommend that you purchase a
yorkie, especially a tiny, if you are gone a lot, have small children, or if you don't plan on making it part
of your family.  I beg you to read up on the breed!  This is just a guide, not a professional book!

They choke, !!  When giving your puppy food, snacks, or a tidbit from the table,
always remember how small they are.  Unlike most dogs, they get the smallest things caught in their
throats.  Cut-up everything you give to them, into very small pieces!  
Especially when they are puppies, and continuing throughout their lifetime.  Not only are their throats
small, the smaller dogs also have trouble chewing something bigger.I use Eukanuba puppy dry food.  I
also recommend a halter leash, (not a collar) due to their small trachea.


Yorkies have low blood sugar until they are about 12 weeks old, and longer if they are tiny.  Make sure
they eat well before they play too hard.  If they seem sluggish after play, even vomit, a dime-size dose,
on their tongue, of Nutri-Cal, should bring them out of it.  If they seem to be playing really hard, it
wouldn't hurt to give them a dose to be safe, but you can overdo it, so no more than once or twice a
day.  Call me immediately if your baby doesn't eat, (especially the day you receive your baby) It is a life
or death situation!!
Watch where you walk, or sit.  You will learn to scoot your feet when you walk, and always watch where
you step.  They run under your feet, until they figure out that it might be a dangerous practice.  The other
thing i noticed with all my dogs, is they will jump on the couch or chair, and look
up at you lovingly.  You move them over so you can sit next to them and as you turn to sit, they jump under you, And end up
getting sat on ! I learned to hold them as you are sitting. Until they have learned to get out of your way,
be very careful ! Never leave children alone with puppies.

Many Yorkies, ( Even 12 lb) have been known to Meet their demise to outside DANGERS! Other dogs,
hawks,owls,and coyotes have been known to carry a Yorkshire Terrier off. Use extreme caution when
your dog is outside. Keep in mind people have been known to steal Yorkshire Terrier also. One new
owner had her baby stolen while paying for her gas! Be on your GUARD at all times.

They do quite well as inside dogs , and if you are to get a puppy / adult Yorkie  from
Cherrico Yorkshire Terriers this is the only way we see it inside Dog ONLY!
I use potty Pads. I found they do quite well for inside dogs. Bed pads from your pharmacy are bigger
