I got Missy at 7 weeks 3 days of age. She did very well except that her blood sugar levels would drop at times. All I would have to do is give her 2-3 pea sized amounts of Nutrical, 2-3 times per day...and make sure she ate right afterwards. Gradually over the first 3-4 weeks of her being here, I decreased the nutrical, and she's doing great now and hasn't had any since 11 weeks old. Here is a link to some info about hypoglycemia in Yorkies...

Hypoglycemia often seen in tiny or underfed yorkie puppies and Yorkshire Terrier adults

Another issue you *may* have to deal with is biting. This is a habit that your puppies littermates and Mom would have helped to break. Just yelp when she bites you, tell her no, and ignore her (don't continue playing) for a couple of minutes. They learn!

Enjoy your new little one! Can't wait to see pics
