I have a 5 1/2 lb and a 6 1/2 lb yorkie and I also have a 15 lb. mutt who absolutely adores the yorkies. We have had until recently a 80 lb golden who played with them all the time and we never had any injuries. I don't think the size matters as much as the temperment of the dog. I think you will do just fine. By the way, I got my yorkies at six weeks, years ago when that was considered the norm. Nobody thought any different at that time. They managed just fine. I think it is better if they stay with the mom longer but it certainly isn't a rare thing to get a puppy at that age. We all live and learn! |
