Welcome to YT Bob!
So are you saying they have an 8 week old yorkie pup that they don't want or is it a part of a litter they have? Either way, yes 8 weeks is pretty young to leave it's mama. The average age for yorkie pups to leave their mom's is 12 weeks. Not sure what type of registration you are talking about, so can't help to much there. And not getting along with his other dog? The 8 week old pup, or the mama yorkie?????? A yorkie pup (or any pup for that reason) is a bundle of energy but much to young to be labeled a problem child. Maybe the other dog just doesn't like being around active puppies. Good luck on your search and let us know when you get your Yorkie baby. We'd love to meet him/her!
