The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America's Code of Conduct requires that breeders keep puppies until they are 12 weeks old:

8) All puppies leaving the breeders possession will be a minimum of twelve (12) weeks
of age to facilitate adequate socialization as well as appropriate emotional and
temperament development through interaction with siblings, dam and other dogs.

I would not purchase a puppy from a breeder who does not follow the breed club's Code of Conduct. It's a huge red flag that they may not be following other rules that responsible breeders follow.
