Welcome to YT. I know you're really excited.

One word of caution though. Yorkies need a little longer with their moms and littermates than most breeds. You might talk to the breeder about waiting just a little longer. The rule of thumb is 12 weeks. I have heard of pups being ready sooner, but not by more than a week or two. It's not weaning that's the issue, it's socialization. This is an important time for pups, and they still have a lot of things to learn that are best learned with mom.

Those last few weeks are the hardest to wait. Our breeder let us visit about once a week and that helped. I would at least talk to your breeder about it.

Do you have a photo? We LOVE photos here!
