Hey yall! from Georgia I just wanted to clarify a little thats been quoted from my site. I did say that one of the best Yorkies I ever had, I bought when she was 5 weeks old. Its true, and it was in 1973. She lived to be 16+ yrs old and was so smart and bonded with her people.. I didnt say I sold puppies that young. I do know AKC site states that the ideal time for a new owner to get their puppy is at 7-8 weeks old. My site is just stating that fact, based on AKCs research. You all can read the AKC site yourself. I actually have some puppies ready now on my site. They are 13 weeks old. Ive been raising Yorkies exclusively for 36 years so I have a good idea when puppies are ready to leave their moms. I let them get weaned naturally rather than when it suits me. That way, they are healthy and ready for their new homes. Hope this helps you understand my site. |
