I'm glad you joined and welcome. I'm sorry you felt as if you could not post this. Aside from socialization with mom and the other pups, my big and maybe my biggest concern with the age is the size too. If he is a bigger Yorkie eight weeks is not too bad, but if he is tiny it can be very dangerous. For instance Both my Brooklyn and Mia were tiny both came home at I think about four months old and only weighed slightly over a pound. If I had brought them home at eight weeks I would have been asking for big trouble. If you boy is over two pounds already at eight weeks he should be fine, but you will have to put a lot of time in with him as his socialization won't be as it would if he were left with mom and his sibblings until he was older. I would reccomend keeping Nutrical on hand. This is used for low blood sugar which Yorkies especially tiny ones can get. Stick around here and get support and learn. It's a great place to share and ask questions or if you have concerns after he comes home. Good Luck. Elaine |
