A 321 Yorkies Puppy Guide

Congratulations on welcoming your new Yorkie puppy into your family! At 321 Yorkies, we take great pride in raising healthy, well-socialized puppies, and we want every family to feel confident and prepared as they begin this journey. Bringing home a puppy is exciting, emotional, and sometimes a little overwhelming—especially with such a small breed. This guide is designed to help your family feel confident, prepared, and supported during those first important weeks at home.

Your puppy is leaving everything they’ve ever known—their mom, littermates, and routine. It’s completely normal for them to be shy, quiet, or a little unsure at first.

What’s normal:

• Whining or crying the first few nights
• Sleeping more than expected
• Mild nervousness or clinginess

Give your puppy time, patience, and reassurance. A calm environment helps them adjust more quickly.

We strongly recommend using a puppy pen instead of a crate, especially for small breeds like Yorkies.

• Allows room to safely move, play, eat, and rest
• Reduces anxiety compared to confined crates
• Creates a positive, secure “safe zone”
• Ideal for potty training with pee pads or grass pads

Your puppy pen should include:

• A soft bed or blanket
• Food and water bowls
• Pee pad or grass pad
• A few safe toys

This becomes your puppy’s personal space where they can feel secure.

Potty training takes patience and consistency—especially with tiny puppies.

• Take your puppy to the potty area after waking, eating, playing, and naps
• Praise immediately after they potty in the correct spot
• Stick to the same potty area every time
• Expect accidents—they are part of the learning process

• Never punish accidents
• Keep potty areas easily accessible
• Small puppies have tiny bladders and need frequent breaks

Consistency and positive reinforcement are key.

Yorkies require regular grooming to stay healthy and comfortable.

• Gentle brushing several times a week
• Bathing every few weeks with puppy-safe shampoo
• Nail trimming as needed
• Ear cleaning when recommended

Start grooming routines early so your puppy becomes comfortable with being handled.

Before bringing your puppy home, we recommend having the following ready:

• Puppy pen
• Soft bed or blanket
• Food and water bowls
• High-quality puppy food (as recommended)
• Pee pads or grass pad
• Puppy-safe toys
• Puppy shampoo
• Brush/comb suitable for Yorkie coats

Having these items ready helps create a smooth transition.

Your puppy will receive age-appropriate veterinary care before going home.

• Schedule a vet visit shortly after bringing puppy home
• Follow your veterinarian’s vaccination schedule
• Avoid public places until vaccinations are complete

Regular vet care is essential for a healthy start.

Yorkies are very small and fragile, especially as puppies.

• Letting puppies jump off furniture
• Leaving them unattended on couches or beds
• Allowing rough play
• Using harsh discipline

Always supervise your puppy and handle them gently.

We love that Yorkies grow up in family environments, but safety is crucial.

• Always sit on the floor when holding the puppy
• No running, chasing, or grabbing
• Never pick up puppy without adult supervision
• Gentle voices and calm movements only

Teach children that puppies are living beings—not toys.
