They are so tiny at this age...my babies ranged from 1.8-1.14 so if they were to have a day that they didn't eat enough, they could have become hypoglycemic very easily. Also, it's important that they get those extra weeks with their mommy and littermates...for socialization. I would suggest that you do not bring a Yorkie puppy home unless it is ATLEAST 12 weeks old.

Good luck with your search...it's a wonderful breed!

if you are going to quote me quote it all...i also said "i had my first 2 at 6 weeks old..no problems with them..not that someone else might have not problems with that depends on the puppy and the buyers knowledge like you said"

and i said i liked getting them older BUT i have never had an issue with getting them younger..

im not getting in a huge debate in this thread about what age is good to go home..it varies in my opinion
