I wish I had found Yorkie Talk before I bought my boys and got more advice and knowledge. My boys were 9 weeks old when I picked them up, too young to be away from their mommy! They suffered from seperation anxiety and still do to a certain degree. I cannot recommend more highly to buy your dog from a local breeder where you can go and look at the living conditions, see the parents with your own eyes. A breeder saying AKC registered pups does not mean they are a good breeder.

Also Tiny pups can come with many many health problems. You want to look for a pup in the standard range of 5 - 7lbs. Please don't keep breeders who breed toy yorkies, teacup yorkies, etc... in business, don't feed them business. Those 'types' of yorkies do not exsist. The breeder will breed the runts of 2 litters to try to get smaller and smaller pups resulting in poor health and quality. They may be cute, but they may cause you nothing but heartache and a very broke wallet.

Knowledge here is key! I want to help you all out with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your pups, bringing them home, buying them, breeders, etc... I am also from MA star28c so if I can help you with anything just give me a shout!

I wish you all nothing but the best of luck, health and happiness with your new furkids when they come home! Yorkies are a joy! I love every minute with my boys! I got extremely lucky given my ignorance when I decided to buy yorkies and my boys are healthy and happy, but next time I buy a dog (any breed really) I'll do much more research on breeders and what is standard/healthy for that breed of dog!

Welcome to YT!!! I hope you all find this place fun, informative and useful to you!
Star..listen to what she says here. i got miley a couple days before she turned 8 weeks and i've already had to make an emergency run to the vet due to hypoglycemia. My pup was still with her mom and I dont think the breeder did anything to see if they were eating good on their own before he let me have her. The parents were clean and pups and their place was really nice and clean so at least they were very clean about breeding BUT there is SO SO SO VERY MUCH MORE..
I love Miley's lil size don't get me wrong but you will find that you will love them at any size. I am thiinking of getting another one and i like you want to get one that is Miley's size but i will find a breeder that will keep thepup til he/she is 12 weeks old or even longer if needed. Trust me you won't regret waiting when it comes to the pups health and wellbeing..
Sorry so Long..i'm all talkative today lol
