i have to agree with the others that 5 weeks is very young! they are so small at this age. there is a risk of hypoglycemia in small breed puppies, so you really have to be careful and know what to look for and make sure the puppy is eating. i would ask your friend if you could wait until at least 8 weeks and make sure the pup has its shots.

yorkies and other breeds usually get along well. i have two pugs and my yorkie (who is the king of the castle around here) loves them and "tolerates" them! it's all about early socialization.

anyway, congrats and good luck with your new family member!
