Before a puppy reaches two pounds their life seems so fragile, I mean one day they are fine and the next day they are gone, and it's really important to have an experienced person available who knows the signs of distress. I wouldn't be able to read those signs, I've never even seen a 6 week old yorkie, how are you going to read those signs, and how will you know what to do in the event of an emergency? Add to that is the fact you will be leaving her alone for long periods when no one can observe her.

The main thing I'm bothered about is the fact that the dog is taking a flight alone, this is terribly traumatizing for a puppy, and when dogs get nervous their blood sugar drops, which puts them at a very high risk for death. Larger breeds mature faster, and at 6 weeks they are much more stable. I know you love this puppy already, but please don't allow her to fly so young. How will you feel if she doesn't make it? You should always take the more cautious approach when you are responsible for a living being. There is not one person here who thinks flying a puppy that young is safe, please put your own needs aside, and show this puppy the love you have for it, by not allowing it to be flown this young.

Nancy,

I'm not sure where this pup is being flown from. But, if memory serves me correctly, I don't think airlines will fly a pup at this young age, because of the danger of losing it while in flight.
