I hope that you will reconsider taking this puppy home so young. I have a 16 week old pups, who is tiny weighing 1.12 now. Unknowningly, I brought her home with a cough and ear infections. I stayed up 10 straight days, nursing this pup. When they are that tiny or as young as your pup, they CANNOT fight off things that an older bigger pup can. We could have lost Mia, luckily we didn't. I am experienced and although I'm not taking the credit for keeping her alive and getting her better I do feel that, that was a big help. I'm assuming your gf is a new Yorkie Owner. There is a lot to look for and if you miss it something this young can easily die and they are so suseptable to illness at such a tiny young age. Please consider asking him to keep her longer or just walking away from it if he will not. I learned the heard way about buying with your heart and I hope that what I learned can help others to avoid the same traps. Elaine
