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!

I am working on a metal project, and my plans were to have the finished project powder coated, and then air brushed over with a design. I was wondering if the paint would stick to the Powder Coating well.

Thanks in advance,
Kelly.

Yep. Lotsa cars and bikes are done up like that. Powder coat takes paint very well.

Okay, so i am buying a lot of supplies to do my own acrylic nails. Now, i found a UV lamp, and it says for gel…well if i apply a gel top coat, is it okay to use that lamp? Because my nail salon that i go to uses pink and white powder but they add a gel top coat. I just dont want to buy the wrong thing.

Yes, the Gel UV lamp are for Gel nails… aka, the gel topcoat.
