Welcome to Yorkie Talk, and congratulations on your new fur baby to come. Take the time to learn everything you can about Yorkies while you are waiting. This site is so full of information and help, way beyond what you'd find in any book.
Waiting a little longer will give the pup better chance of survival and socialization, and make your life a little easier. Hope you are planning to be home with the little one 24/7 in it's first months to make sure he eats, etc.
The little one's do demand more care and attention, especially in the beginning. Long term health is determined more by genetics, and proper care and attention of owner than simply by weight of the dog.
In many states it is illegal to sell a pup until 8 weeks, and your breeder's suggestion of 7 weeks makes me question her integrity and knowledge. |
