Way to many posts for me to try to quote and give a
to. Basically, all were great and made their point beautifully.

But my husband and I took in 2 tiny yorkies many years ago at the age of 4 weeks. I have a friend who breeds these little angels and have know her for about 35 years now.
The mommy of these 2 pups, (Angel and Mirikal) died and my friend was sick with cancer at the time and so my husband and I took the 2 little babies and hand fed them.
My friend got better and we were going to return them to her but we just couldn't part with them so she let us keep them of course  Well those 2 puppies did wonderful without a mommy to care for them.
I had experience with raising up orphaned puppies and kittens, so this is not something people should take on. But both pups grew up to be healthy all of their lives. Angel lived to be 16 years old and Mirikal lived to be almost 19 years old. They died naturally and were the light of our life.
We just got another yorkie 4 months ago, he was 4 months old. We got him from the same woman who is still my friend He is almost 9 months old now and just a wonderful boy with a beautiful full coat and he goes everywhere with us.
My husband is a Physician and I am a Nurse Practitioner and my husband and I have our own practice in Boise Idaho. We took the girls with us every day to work their whole life's and now Wally goes to work with us every day as well. All of our patients just adore him, he greets everyone and even goes in when we are seeing patients.
I wish you the best with your pup and hope he lives a very long happy life like our 2 girls did..
God Bless.

While it is amazing that you were able to raise 4 week old yorkies, your situation is much much different from the OP's. What was done in her case was illegal and immoral. You were helping an ill friend, which is honorable, but the OP's story, which also started in tragedy, did not have to go the route it did. This pup crossed state lines, which is illegal, and although his mommy dog died, it is a breeders responsibility to raise a young pup, not an inexperienced first time puppy mom. Everyone who responded to all of the OP's threads did so with the best of intentions. Great breeders that are members of this site urged her to hold off so her pup would have a greater chance at a happy successful life, as well as many passionate yorkie owners. I think it's safe to say everyone is ecstatic DJ is doing well.
