This may be different in the US.
I think you will know yourself...these cross puppies will be bigger than Yorkie pups....so could benefit from new stimuli from about 7-10 weeks...I got our Bearded Collie at 12 weeks and she wasn't as socialised as she should have been and has so many hang ups it's unreal...our previous Beardie was 4 and a half weeks and was the best dog we ever had...she was our baby and was well socialised and the best friend to all (I was home 24/7).
....No two dogs are the same...I would think you would know by 7 weeks whether yours are going to need longer or not.....but for the benefit of puppy and mother I'd say most would agree 8-10 weeks is the best time...longer than that and they miss out on important time in which they must come across all things by 12 weeks or they get psychological problems as that is the time that matters. I would never buy a 12 week puppy ever again after what we have gone thru with our current Beardie for 7 years ! She was too old.
And also as I said before I would never buy a 6 week old pure Yorkie again either....they need at least another week.
Hope this helps a bit.
