I would let the breeder keep her longer then try bringing her home again - it sounds like she is just not ready to be away from her mom ...Do you think she's actually younger than 6 weeks ? We got my Chanel at 6 weeks and it really was way too early - (we didn't know better) but she didn't do what you're describing - she never cried and ate and played just fine - I think maybe she really bonded to me because we did get her that young but I never saw her trying to nurse or act like she missed her mom -

Bless her heart - all yorkies are different and the breeder should have known she wasn't ready - or maybe she isn't the age this breeder said she is ?

I know it will be hard but if it's a GOOD breeder - she'd want to keep her longer so she can be ready to be on her own without being so stressed.....GOOD LUCK !!!!
