I'm trying to be nice, I understand where you're coming from. But, I'm asking where did the info come from as far as the age these pups should leave their moms? And socialization, as far as I'm concerned that's b.s as I said, the ones I've gotten at an older age have been (except for the last one) harder to housebreak, and have bitten me more than any I've ever gotten at 6 plus weeks. Also, yes, if the yorkies are weaned, eating well and are a little bigger and healthier, I also don't have a problem with them leaving at 6-8 weeks, now if they're smaller and not eating well, yeah, then I feel they need to stay a little longer, but, not so much for the so called socialization. I'm using the "crates" because so many believe in crate training, because everyone says this is the way to go. I'm saying who says it's the right thing? Dogs can't talk, so how can people say it's the best thing??
