Is the issue purely for health reasons? As far as biting and learning goes, won't my other Yorkie (her bilogocial brother the prior litter or so) who will be 2 years in May 2010 be able to teach my new puppy things her mother would?   
What is the smallest the pup should be (in pounds) upon coming home with new owners?   |  
 
  Did you read the link I posted on the first page? It applies to all toy breeds, not just Yorkies.  
Why do Maltese puppies need to be 12 weeks old before going to a new home??
