Get your deposit back and run, run, run away as fast as you can. Yorkies should stay with their moms until they are 12 weeks old so you are dealing with a backyard breeder for starters. Getting her at eight weeks would have been a bad idea, five weeks should not even be considered. Not only will there be a high risk of losing her to hypoglycemia, the puppy will miss valuable lessons on socialization, bite inhibition and potty training that will affect her adult behavior for the rest of her life.
FYI, it is illegal to sell a puppy before seven weeks old in Virginia so this breeder is also breaking the law.
RUN!!!!!!!! |
