Yorkies come in ONE size. There is no standard, toy, mini etc. There is just the yorkishire terrier

Everything seems to be there your only forgetting the vet and shots. I have Teacup Yorkshire Terrier thats 5 pounds so yours should be in the 5-8 pounds range.

There’s no such thing as a ‘teacup’ yorkie- its another name for the runt of the litter that struggled to survive. I have seen yorkies anywhere from 8 lbs to 15 pounds.

Heres some GOOD advice for you, i have two dogs. Dont buy the doggy cologne, Puppy book, clickers, conditioner, shampoo or styptic powder!!!
Why do i say this?
Because the Vet will have everything you need for medical and giving your dog a bath!
Good luck! hope he/she is cute!

No such thing as a “Toy Yorkie” unless you mean its an actual toy that children play with. Other than that, do not buy him/her. Most likely you will be buying from a puppy mill. Go with a shelter, rescue, or a reputable breeder. Do NOT get dog or puppies from any where else. Sounds like you have the basics for owning a dog though.
Good luck! hope he/she is cute!

there’s no such thing as a “toy” yorkie. Yorkies come in ONE SIZE ONLY.. there’s no “minis” “toys” “teacups” or any other such sizes.
Yorkies are 7 pds or less.
You have things on your list you dont really need.
You dont need “shed reducer”.. yorkies dont shed much, and that stuff is just a gimmick anyways. A high quality diet and daily brushing is all you need
Dont really need coat conditioner unless you plan to show and need to upkeep a long coat.. otherwise just a high quality diet and regular grooming is enough
You dont need potty pads.. those only teach your puppy to pee in the house, and just confuse your puppy when you try to teach it to pee outside later
Dont really need cologne.. a dog that is kept groomed and fed a good diet does not get stinky
housebreaking aids dont work as well as people think they do either.. cross that off your list.. all you need to do is take the puppy out often enough before it needs to potty.. use a good cleaner meant for pet messes to clean any accidents
Styptic powder is nice to have, but is rarely used.. in a pinch, regular flour can be used… if you have the extra to budget for that, its ok, but its one thing that isnt 100% necessary.
Clicker is only necessary if you plan to use that method of training.
Puppy books are nice to have, but you can also easily find books at your local library on puppy care..
I would not buy an expensive pet bed yet.. there’s a good chance your pup may chew, or have an accident.. use an old blanket or towel
Personally I’d get the flea and tick products thru your vet.. many that are sold in stores are garbage. Some of the bigger petshops do carry the frontline and advantage.. but I’d stay away from the hartz, top spot, etc… brands that are typically found in the grocery stores are not effective, and many are dangerous.
Choose a mild conditioning shampoo for your puppy.. dont buy a flea shampoo.. you dont want to over-do the flea products.. remember any time you use chemicals on your dog, they are absorbed by the skin.. you want to limit the exposure as much as possible.
Dont forget heartworm preventative, which you can get thru your vet.. do also have a vet in mind before you get your puppy!
Good luck! hope he/she is cute!
