I know how exciting it is to bring home a new puppy, and long you have been waiting for this very moment. The ideal time for a yorkie puppy is at 12 weeks old . There are risks of Hypoglcemic attacks in very young puppies. When left alone, they are not monitered, and if the blood sugar drops to low, it can be deadly. Something to keep in mind. THe longer a puppy is with it's mom and littermates the better socialized the puppies are. A very big plus
I'd definately wait as long as you can , no matter how tempted you are to have your baby earlier. At least your going to be home for several weeks when your going to bring home your baby then. Often times what happens is that the first day or so a little puppy is so upset by the new home that it refuses to eat. Therefore, causing problems in blood sugar. The smaller the puppy, the worse the condition is.
I brought my Suzi home going on 9 weeks old. I had no idea about low blood sugar. She got car sick on the way home, vomited all over the place. And refused to eat... I found YT The evening I brought her home, and everyone helped me out.
Luckily, Suzi began eating during the night, and she was already up to 3lbs. AND I stay home all the time do to being disabled.
Anyhow, it is best to wait, and then spend as much times as possible with your precious little puppy as you can. Your little one is going to be very simallar to a little human baby.
