If the breeder doesn't agree to keep her at least until she is 10 weeks old, then I'm thinking about looking for another breeder. Honestly, I don't believe the puppy is with her mother. The breeder told me she put her with another one of her "parti" yorkies because mine was so small that she was afraid to keep her with her 3 brothers. I just feel bad for her. If she is not with her mother, then how is she going to learn what she needs?? I'm so afraid that this little girl will not grow up "normal". She may and she may not. We may have a hard time with her and, then again, we may not. It's 6 in one hand and a half-dozen in the other! I'm so confused.

I'm going to try and find some posts that explain the benefits of leaving a puppy longer with its mother.

Thanks everyone.
