Just a note of caution, red is not a "rare" color, it is a genetic anomaly and some breeders would not even breed this dog. I hope you didn't pay extra because the mom is a "rare" color. They can still be AKC registered, if they are a pure bred yorkie with a color variation. Standard yorkies are black and tan and that is what the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America recognizes. Just be sure she is healthy! As others have stated, toy breeds should not leave mom until about 12 weeks. A good vet will confirm this. These smaller dogs need extra time to learn socialization so that they do not turn out skittish/biters. Again, just a word of warning to please do your research about not only when you should be bringing this yorkie puppy home, but also about the color variation. Good luck to you! I know how very excited you are to be bringing a new puppy home.
