If they were tiny Yorkies I would say too young as they may look and act good at 6 weeks, but having bought my Tara now 8 years at 6 weeks to the day....I had to tube feed her for 3 days due to the shock from being away from Mum....I couldn't return her as it was too far away.
I then bought 2 older, and recently bought another puppy who is standard and was 7 and a half weeks and was absolutely fine.

Since they are large crosses I'd say any time from 7/8 weeks onwards will be ok...but tell any new owners to take them back for a day or two if any problems.

I am here in North Scotland, but I would suggest 7/8 weeks is fine to have learnt what they need to from Mum. 10 for a poorer/smaller pup
