well while most people say 12 weeks and i too would recommend it, my yogi flew to me at 10 and my roxie will be coming at 10 as well. id personally say no earlier than 8 and even that is stretching it. If the vet approves then id have no problem going at 9 or 10 but 8 just seems a bit early. either way your pup has a great home to look forward to be it at 8 weeks or 12 and just make sure you get it to the vet for a checkup asap and get all the shots needed as early as the vet allows them.

8 may be a bit early but i think you will be fine as long as you take every step to keep your yorkie healthy just remember in the future if you decide to buy another baby that you may want to wait longer.

good luck!
