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?
I never let my puppies go to their new homes until they are over 2 pounds and are eating well on their own.....So, they may stay with me longer......

My pups will be 4 months of age on Christmas...Today I began taking them outside, 1 at a time and running with the other females
