We got Gracie at 10 1/2 weeks. She was right at 2 pounds. Others have gotten their babies sooner depending on circumstances. Sometimes there wasn't a choice but if given the option it seems the recommended norm is 12 weeks. Minimum 10 weeks. So much of it isn't how well they are eating or if they are weaned but more for the socialization skills. Also a lot of yorkie babies won't weigh 2 pounds until around 10-12 weeks (some NEVER weigh more than 2 pounds) and weighing less than 2 pounds puts them at a higher risk for hypoglycemia. |
