Hi Megan! I love all your videos on Yorkies. My husband and I are bringing home our very first fur baby home. He’s a Yorkie! Your videos are so helpful ❤
8:01 pm I'm Bringing home a yorkie the first week of May. I had my first yorkie And she was with me for 14 years .14 years of purijoy. They are truly a unique breed. My yorkie slowly went blind and deaf, the transition was so slow, she was great. I miss her more than I could ever put into words. So I totally enjoyed this video it's been a long time obviously since I had a puppy. She is only 25 days old and 10 oz right now LOLI can't wait to meet her and bring her home at 12 weeks. I only work 3 days a week, 4 hrs each day So I have plenty of time to dedicate to my Puppy. Thank you for some of the reminders and for some of the extra tips!
I am so excited for you, and I love that you are nesting and getting ready! It sounds like you have the perfect schedule to be a great yorkie companion!
@@MeganGraham she wouldn’t eat at first but now she is. She still doesn’t drink water and the vet said 8 weeks is fine to be away from mom. She is lively now!
That’s great that she’s lively now. Eight weeks is fine for most puppies, but small dogs like Yorky should absolutely be with her mothers until 12 weeks old. I don’t think there’s anything you can do about it now, but it is too early and it affects their socialization as well as their development. I’m sure you will take the best care of her, but whoever bred her was not responsible to let her go home with someone that early. Lola actually had to stay with the breeder until 13 weeks because she was on the smaller side, but the only kinds of dogs that she go home at eight weeks are larger dogs like labrador retrievers. Most people don’t know this but it is true.
Great video! Very informative! I am planning on getting a yorkie this year so I am ravenous for as much information as I can get! Your babies are adorable! 💕
I know exactly what you mean. I spent so much time learning about Siberian Kittens before I brought mine home. I did the same thing with my Yorkies too (and continue to do so) my mom calls it nesting. The single most important thing that you can do is to get pet insurance. It makes all the difference ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@MeganGraham I am researching Trupanion as we speak! I agree that it will be totally worth it! Keep up the great videos and I will continue nesting! 😁💕
I love Trupanion, and they never let me down when Teddy (my yorkie that had an auto-immune disease) was ill. I have it for all of my dogs, as well as my kitten:)
That’s a great idea for a video, I will definitely try to do a video like that soon. I don’t actually fully groom my dogs and cut their hair I have a groomer do that, but they do get bands and a brush them out and keep their coats nice and tangle free. When I got my first Yorky as an adult I did not take his maintenance very seriously and he had a lot of tangles… When I dropped him off to the groomer they completely shaved him and the poor little guy was so sad. After that I learned my lesson and I always groomed my dogs regularly so that their coats were kept in good shape.
@@MeganGraham I have a 6 month old I plan on keeping her coat long. I love the top knots on your babies I’m still waiting for my girl to get that length for a fuller look. Maybe you can also mention your fav products for in between grooming visits? Your channel is so cute!
Beautiful YorkieTeacup puppies. I am currently looking for a Teacup Yorkie. Can you proved me the breeder that you used? 😇 Happy Holidays! Thanks, April Mickens
Hi there, I hope you are having a great holiday:). They breeder that I worked with has asked that I not share her info, but a great way to find an excellent breeder is to look on the Yorkshire Terrier Association of America. I would also very much recommend looking at a rescue to find your new best friend ❤️. I hope that this helps. Megan
My yorkie will be coming home in October and she will be my cardiac alert dog, wish someone had tips for raising a yorkie to be a service dog not just a pet. She will absolutely be part of the family, but I need her to help my life be better and safer.
@@MeganGraham Thank you! I have looked around however my area doesn’t have things like that, can’t even find supplies for service dogs anywhere around here. Her channel though is The Yorkie Service dog if you want to watch her journey, no pressure though.
Hi Megan...really enjoy your videos! Hubby and I decided to get two new puppies this summer...WE want to get two little girls but are undecided if we should get one puppy then get the other, from same breeder, the following year. Would getting them together lessen their sadness of leaving the pack? We thought getting them at separate times would possibly help train the second one? Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanx!
You are so thoughtful to think about adopting two puppies for that reason. Personally I don’t think I could ever handle adopting two puppies at the same time. It would be really difficult to train two at once, and do all of the things that you have to do for a new puppy, but for two. I think it’s really up to you. If you feel that you can spend a lot of time with your puppy, that would also ease separation anxiety. The choice is up to you and I know it can be done because I’ve met people that have, it would just be a lot for me.
Thanx so much for all of your support! We pick up our first little girl Tootsie this Saturday...will try and send pics! We decided to spend some time with the first one then possibly get the second toward end of summer...our lives are about to change...there's a new Queen in town...lolo
I’ve had my new baby girl Fendi for now 2weeks. She hasn’t eaten unless I spoon feed her and give her fluids via syringe. I do also give her lots coconut water. She hasn’t become sick so far but I believe she’s home sick. She still doesn’t want to interact with my children or play at all. She lays on my chest and licks me all day long. She cries when I put her down and doesn’t want anyone around me at all. Recently started growling at my children. She’s now 6 months old. Loves me to the moon and back but is very antisocial with everyone else including my children
Hi Kimberly, Thank you so much for your comment. May I be super honest with my reply to you? Also, are you certain that she is 6 mo old (as in on her papers) or did someone vernally tell you? I love yorkies, so I am happy to give a little insight:)
@@MeganGraham Hi there! Yes I am sure as she came from my daughters aunt which we’ve been around for so long. We haven’t been around Fendi but we do know the date and time of her birth as her old caretakers love her dearly and took amazing care of her and her entire family. Not sure what’s going on but it’s a little alarming that she’s so scared of all. She was the bully of all of her siblings and loved to play all day but here she’s extremely scared. I asked my child’s aunt if she can send her brother which she’s extremely attached to but she said no due to her feeling that fendi will shut down once her brother Gucci goes back home. I am not sure what to do. She is being fed with spoon and syringe with fluids. If not she won’t eat. I kinda have to force feed her which worries me because now she’s not fighting feeding time.it seems as she began to not have desire to eat now Alf waits on me to feed her with spoon. Not sure what to do. I am more than willing to take advice from you.
Yes ma'am I'm truly interested in adopting a Yorkie puppy,yes she will be my first Yorkie, Please can you let me know the name of a puppy book I can get to understand my Yorkie before I get her thank you much
Do they sleep in the play pen or do you have something else you put them in at night? Also when you leave the house where do they stay while you are gone?
I will be getting my first yorkie in a few days. Right now I live with my daughter who has a golden doodle how long do I need to wait before letting them meet once I bring her home?
What did you do the first few nights? Did you crate them and just let them cry it out? I'm thinking about getting a Yorkie puppy but want to know if a Yorkie is right for me.
Hi Patti:) I put an air mattress on the floor and slept next to the crate. I also had a little Teddy Bear (with a heartbeat) in the kennel so that she wouldn't feel scared. The link to the bear should be in the video description. I just felt so bad, because I know it is scary!
I am adopting 2 puppies brothers arriving anytime now? Is it going to be harder to train, or possible littermate syndrome? I have one more Yorkie which is 1 yr old and really shy, should I kept him separated from them first?
I think potty training two dogs at the same time would definitely be twice as hard as training one. I mean, you have to be able to watch both of them, so it’s definitely going to be a lot harder, but I’m sure it will be worth it in the end. I would definitely separate and shop around your dogs as they are meeting. Sometimes dogs surprise you when they get along really well, but there can be a bit of a “breaking”. While they are getting to know each other. It’s definitely good to keep an eye out :-)
@@MeganGraham thank you so much. Both puppies are great and getting familiar with their new home at exceptional speed as they are each other’s company all the time since birth. I named them Hunter and Junior. Hunter is now 2.8kg, and junior is 1.8 kg, seems hunter came in with quite a dehydrated condition at 2.3 kg. It’s been 2 days, but feels like they are here for long time. Is it a bit over weight for Hunter at less than 3 months old?
Hi Judy, I’m so sad for you that you lost your Yorky Lulu two years ago. I know it is so hard. I also lost my sweet dog Teddy two years ago. I would say that the best place to look for a breeder is to look at the Yorkshire terrier association for America and look for the breeder that’s closest in your area and contact them. There is usually a very long wait with these breeders but it is worth it to be on their list. Another great way to get a Yorky is to look at places where they are up for adoption. I promise, you will not bond any less with a dog that you get that is grown. As soon as it comes into your home you will fall absolutely in love, and you will have the added benefit of feeling so happy that you gave a precious baby at home that needed one very much.
@@MeganGraham oh thank you Megan for your reply and your information and I have started looking into adoption and would love a yorkie no matter how old they would be. They're so loveable and presious that I could have a whole house full of Yorkies. (just kidding). Again thank you and I will keep you posted if I have been blessed with a yorkie.
Hi Megan! I love all your videos on Yorkies. My husband and I are bringing home our very first fur baby home. He’s a Yorkie! Your videos are so helpful ❤
Congratulations! That is so exciting!
I’m getting a yorkie in two weeks and your videos have been sooooo helpful. I am going to watch all. Your voice is so soothing
Thank you:)

@@MeganGraham I have a small crate, a tent, it's like a playpen. not sure which I want in my bedroom for at night?
Totally up to you ❤️❤️
I just got mines for Christmas and she never cried... I’m surprised because the vet thinks she might be 1-2 weeks younger than 8 weeks. New sub!
oh no! Th let her leave her mom and littermates so early, I hope she is ok. Staying with the mom until 12 weeks is very important.
@@MeganGraham she wouldn’t eat at first but now she is. She still doesn’t drink water and the vet said 8 weeks is fine to be away from mom. She is lively now!

Thank you!
I have been watching and learning before I get my Yorkie puppie. I love your videos!
I'm so glad!
Can you do a video about grooming and coat maintenance? Your videos are very informative 💕
That’s a great idea for a video, I will definitely try to do a video like that soon.

The harness link just leads to the bitter apple, can you link it please! I’m loving these videos!
If you google Buddy Belt you may have better luck on their site:)

That is wonderful news for you. I'm sure there are training centers that you can contact for their services. That is a specialized field for sure/

Yes ma'am I'm truly interested in adopting a Yorkie puppy,yes she will be my first Yorkie, Please can you let me know the name of a puppy book I can get to understand my Yorkie before I get her thank you much
Hi there, there is a book called the art of raising a puppy. It’s excellent.
Do they sleep in the play pen or do you have something else you put them in at night? Also when you leave the house where do they stay while you are gone?
Hi there, those are things that are personal to my dogs, I would research to see what is best for you.
I will be getting my first yorkie in a few days. Right now I live with my daughter who has a golden doodle how long do I need to wait before letting them meet once I bring her home?
That is really up to you. I would wait a few weeks. You didn't say how old the puppy was.
What did you do the first few nights? Did you crate them and just let them cry it out? I'm thinking about getting a Yorkie puppy but want to know if a Yorkie is right for me.

What type of food bowl do you use?
I use china plates
Not sure if you know but your audio volume is too low.
Thanks:)
I don’t see the link for the insurance company you liked
I use Trupanion insurance
Is a Yorkie a good first dog
It depends….

Puppies in general are a lot not just yorkies.
yes, true
Do you sell ?
Do I sell what? Your question lacks basic information.
this tip video was not good lmao
I'm sure you make super videos/
