I've been away for a few days, so I'm kinda out of the loop. You say the breeder had you wait an extra week? So how old will puppy be when she comes home? 8 weeks? How much does she weigh?

If you are able to make the drive, you really should do it. It's so neat to see your puppy mingling with their littermates, and watch how she interacts with her Mom and Dad. Also, it would be nice to check out her living conditions, just to be sure that she's been well taken care of. Not that it makes a difference as to whether you'd take her home or not, but at least you'd have an idea of what you could be dealing with if there are any issues.

Advice and suggestions? Get her vet checked immediately. And once you know that she's healthy spoil her rotten! I'd get some jammies for your little one from www.mygofetch.com (Des is awesome), and get a silk harness and leash from Chattiesmom here at YT. Oh and Chattiesmom has great Napsak beds as well. I also have a Diggy4 bed that Missy loves. Also, do you have an ex-pen? It really was (and still is) my saviour. I found it to be very helpful for housetraining my girl and I still use it when I go to visit my parents. They have a crazy Boxer, and it's nice to keep my Missy safe in her own little area with her peepads, bed, and food/water. And I know that you are aware of Nutrical. I think that since you're getting your puppy at such a young age, it is the most important thing that you need to have on hand.

I don't agree with where you are getting your puppy from, or how early you are bringing her home...but I do wish you guys all the best, and I hope that she ends up doing really well! Get ready to fall head over heels in love. Yorkies really have a way of stealing your heart.
