I got Chip at 7 weeks... the "breeder" (now what we know as a broker) lied to us and told us he was 8 weeks... of course, this was when we thought 8 weeks was the standard age for all dogs. Chip was very sick and had hypoglycemia and he was large for his age... he was almost 3 lbs. Now today he has an extreme attachment to us and has poor socialization skills despite all we've tried. I blame this on the fact that he was probably taken away from his mom so young and we were the first people that he realized that he could trust. Sometimes there are yorkies that are fine to go home at 10 weeks, but I wouldn't bring one home any earlier than that.
