This is provided is in the Yorkshire Terrier Code of Ethics and Conduct.

Breeders will provide puppy buyers with written details of feeding, general care, date and types of a minimum of two (2) inoculations, as well as dates of wormings, grooming instructions, etc. and be available to offer future advice as needed. (with a minimum of 2 innoculations, that would be at week 12. The first innoculation given between the 8th and 9th week. The second innoculation at 12 weeks). Let me add he's still under a pound.....no puppy should leave a breeders home until 2 pounds or over.

All puppies leaving the breeders possession will be a minimum of twelve (12) weeks of age to facilitate adequate socialization as well as appropriate emotional and temperament development through interaction with siblings, dam and other dogs.

Here's some additional information

For the first twenty days: (and your pup is older than this)

The puppy needs Warmth, Food, Sleep, and Mother with as little handling by humans as possible. Just weigh them and make sure they are diapered.

Fourth week (21-28 days)

The puppy needs little else but Warmth, Food, Sleep, and Mother. All senses are functioning and the pup is aware of littermates (and yes they begin to growl at this time) It is extremely critical that puppy has contact with littermates and that introduction to human society is instituted slowly, and with control

Fifth through seventh weeks (29-49 days)

Now is a good time to socialize within the litter and with humans in their own territory. Puppy begins to respond to voices and is able to recognize people as different from canines. About this time the Mother has had enough of them and weaning can be done.

Eighth through through twelfth weeks (50-84 days)

The most impressionistic time for the pup. This is when Mother does the majority of training. Teaching them how what is acceptable, how to play and yes does potty training.

Thirteenth through sixteenth weeks (85-112 days)

The puppy needs Love, Attention, Discipline, Socialization, and Security. Puppy's mind is being influenced, and he can establish himself as a dominant being. Bad experiences with leash training can leave long lasting impressions. Leash train with great care. Praise for correct behavior is a valuable tool and shapes positive attitudes.
