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??

30 years ago I had a German Shepard who had a litter of 10 pups - I didn't and couldn't imagine letting them go at 6 weeks old! They're big dogs but they still need to be with their littermates and Mom. It IS a socializing thing!!! What's the rush anyway?

Dogs can't talk? Well, come on over to my house - I think Mia and Max would tell you differently.

Just because you can - doesn't mean you should.
