I know a woman who breeds chis for show and she holds all of puppies for 12 weeks or longer. She said that she prefers to hold them for 16 weeks so that she can better tell what they will be like as far as size and attitude. It is not just yorkies, I also know that when I was looking at tzus arround here most didn't let them go till 10-12 weeks. All smaller dogs can have blood sugar problems, I was talking to a woman at the store the other day who has a maltipoo and really has to watch it's blood sugar.
