It's good to know they shouldn't be spayed too early....what do you think is the earliest healthy age to spay? I just assumed (probably wrongly) that this was an older pup because the OP said it was obvious she wasn't going to be big enough to breed.

Sorry to butt in here, but this thread has made me curious.
I recommend to spay at the vet's recommendations. Have them examine the growth platelets. Boy's testicles dropping and seated is another thing to consider. At times you can have a boy whose equipment is just stubborn and they don't get seated until they're over 8 months of age. Since yorkie girls, on the average don't come into heat until around 10 months of age, you can wait until all conditions are right; teeth, growth pattern, etc.
