Question
this is my first time to have a yorkie. she is 6 weeks old and i was wandering is she has to be a certain age before you can give them a bath?

Answer
There isn't really a certain age that is too young. If you decide to give her a bath use a shampoo made for puppies or a tearless baby shampoo.  Make sure you don't get any shampoo in her eyes and since she is so young it's important that you keep her warm.  Use a blow dryer on a low setting or keep her wrapped up in a towel.  Let me know if you have any more questions.
