You will find some sold too young do okay...but we are talking about the law of averages. Most puppies sold under 8 weeks have some types of problems and set backs...I happen to think 12 wks is a good age to place most Yorkies and it is based on 35 of placing puppies..early on I let them go at 8/9 weeks...9 times out of 10 the new owner called numerous times the first month for advise ....then I let them go at 12 weeks and all I got was calls like this...."Puppy is eating, playing, sleeping, using potty pads..we are so happy!
No one needed to tell me...my common sense kicked in...

PS..reputable breeders do not sell pups at 6 weeks...in many areas it is illegal.
