I def. feel like 6 weeks is way too early and I don't think we should be telling people it is..that is if we truly want to do what's best for the breed we love. I say that because it's mostly New yorkie owners or New dog owners that seem to be getting them so early. If you have experience owning dogs(well, small dogs/yorkies in general), then you may know how to care for a 6 week old ..but someone who's hasn't....not a good idea..for them or the puppy. Some will do well, some may not...why take the chance?
Around 10 weeks at the least I think is the earliest I would let any go. |
I agree with the part of how experienced someone is. Roxie is the first Yorkie and small dog I have ever had. I always had big dogs before. I got her at 9 weeks and it was pretty intimidating at first. Thank goodness my sister-in-law has 3 small dogs, was a vet tech and now working as a groomer. She helped me with alot of stuff even just by watching her with her own. Also finding YT has helped a ton, of course you don't have to take all the advise but there is such a big support system here. It didn't help that Roxie was very sick and had to be nursed to the picture of health she is today. She was so small when I got her and I was scared to do one thing wrong. Again I totally agree on experience esp. if the puppy is under 10 weeks or so.
