Its pretty important a yorkie stay with there mom until 12 weeks. Sense that did not happen please be prepared for possible potty train issues, biting issues and socialization issues. Also you need to know the symptoms of hypoglycemia and have nutrical on hand in case he has a hypoglycemic episode. It is very important that he be eating every couple of hours and not be left alone for more then an hour because if he has a hypoglycemia episode he can have seizures and it can result in death if no one is there to see him and help him. Also make sure not to take him places other dogs can go until he has had all of his shots. Use a harness to hook the leash to and a collar for tags only. Good luck with your pup and we are here for any questions you have.
