As everyone has mentioned so far that it is never a great idea to bring such a very young yorkie puppy home at 6weeks of age. The fear of a yorkis baby brought home at 6weeks is hypoglecemia , low blood sugar . This could kill a tiny yorkie easily. You may come home agter heours of work and find that your baby has died of complications of low blood sugar.
Especially when their is nobody home to supervise your baby , and her eating . She will be very confused , and lost in in her new enviriment , and cry that nobody is there to take care of her.
Little yorkie puppies are just to vulnerable , and needy of their caregivers . They also need to be with their momma and littermates to learn propper social skill training that she will not have when broght home too early. This could cause future problems as she grows older .
A responsible breeder would never sell or rehome such a young yorkie puppy .
I hate to see you have a broken heart if your baby dies while you are away working, which is highly possible. Yorkie babies are very much like a human baby needing constant care and attention . Even when their is a experienced owner of such a new , and very young puppy things turn south very quickly having a pup left without any propper care from it'e human.
Please , wait until your new yorkie baby is old enough to handle eating on it's own . The tiny the puppy is the higher incidence of a hypoglecimic attack is great.
Remember that any puppy requires great care from its new owner. Especially a tiny baby that is too young to leave it's mother. this is a bad idea and your heart is going to be full of remorse if your baby can't survive without the care she deserves .
Think very carefully as to what other members are telling you , because it is the truth. Please wait until your yorkie baby is old enough . AND when she is, she still will need someone with her the majority of the time . These babies are too little and fragile to be left alone for very long periods of time without human intervention.
