Yorkies do not require a lot of food, the side panel of the food bag is a good guide based on the weight and age of your Yorkie. Generally the will eat 1/2 a cup per day for the first year than a 1/4 cup a day there after. Keep in mind this is only a guide the overall weight and age of your Yorkie is what determines the amount of food required. [Back to Top]

I "do" recommend that you feed your Yorkie 2 -3 times a day. Yorkies are a relatively small dog with a small appetite and can become hypoglycemic. The two times a day feeding schedule helps alleviate this condition. For Yorkies under 6 months or aYorkie that has body weight that is under 3 1/2 pounds as an Adult should have food available at all times. [Back to Top]

My Yorkie puppies are trained to use a dog litter box and in that litter box I put a blank(unprinted) piece of newspaper. They have been trained to use this box since they started to walk. By the time you get your Yorkie, she/he has been using the box for about 6 plus weeks or more depending on the age of your puppy when you get it. You will need to continue with the litter box training or start training your dog to go outside. See my housebreaking page for more information.

Every few weeks if you keep your Yorkie in a puppy cut. If your Yorkie is in full coat once a week is advisable. [Back to Top]

Use the Feeding Guidelines on the back of the bag for correct amounts of pet food mix, meat and water to use. Measurements are based on one meal per day. If you have a puppy or a kitten, or just prefer to feed twice per day, then cut the guideline amounts in half to create two meals instead of one. And remember, the amounts and instructions are guidelines only. Every animal is different so you may need to adjust for individual needs.

BARF World recommends feeding puppies up to 10 % of their body weight. Therefore, if your pup weighs 10 lbs you should feed 1 lb of food divided between 3 or 4 feedings per day. Growing puppies, especially the large breeds, should be kept lean so adjustments to feeding amounts will have to be monitored closely.

Prevent non-essential vehicles and visitors from entering areas of your property where horses are kept.

No, your Yorkshire Terrier is born black and tan. The head will change from black to silver then gold. The body will change from black to slate blue color. At least that is the plan. Some Yorkies go through the color change quickly and some take longer. By year three your Yorkshire terrier should reach it's mature colors. [Back to Top]

My focus is to breed Yorkies in the 3 to 7 pound range. Although I frequently have 2 to 3 pound puppies. [Back to Top]

Yes, you will need to groom your Yorkie. The puppy cut requires no maintenance on your part. But you will need to brush them daily so they do not become tangled. Depending on how much you are willing to spend on the maintenance of their coat will depend on the cut you choose. I have Yorkies that are very jealous and beg or bump into my leg to get groomed. Do not be fooled they were not always like this some take to it well and others hate it in the beginning.

I use Crown Royal shampoo and leave in conditioner. These are pet friendly products and are tearless. Do not use human shampoos or conditioners as they my irritate your Yorkies skin and eyes. Your Yorkie will enjoy their bath if it is a fun experience. Soap in the eyes is not fun. Tearless products that do not burn the eyes will make it easier for you to bath your Yorkie and your Yorkie will be less likely to resist. You can purchase these products from Brown Kennel Supply.

Let your Yorkie settle into its new home for a couple of days before you start bathing them. [Back to Top] No, dogs are den animals by nature. If there crate is accessible all the time you will find they go to it when they want to sleep or when they want to get away from any commotion that may be going on. The crate is not to be used for punishment and they should not be used to lock your Yorkie in for long periods of time.

Only you know the answer to this question as it depends on whether your dog is dominate or submissive. I would be happy to discuss your current dog and give you an opionion. [Back to Top]
