I don't post very often but when I do it is usually on posts such as this. When people type responses they may come across as rude or judgemental. But believe me they are only thinking about the dogs not your feelings. Just because a person is very nice and says they have been breeding for a number of years it doesn't necessarily mean they are good breeders. With so many people just breeding for the heck of it for whatever reason the Yorkie breed is suffering because these same nice people aren't doing the proper testing to make sure they aren't passing on genetic diseases. I am not saying this couldn't happen to responsible breeders that do test their breeding pairs before ever having a litter. I'm just putting that out there.
Now I do have to say that maybe getting your pups at such an early age is okay with you but in my breeding experience I have seen that puppies not given the proper amount of time with their dams is detrimental to their temperament and does have an effect on how well they adjust. From birth to about 7 weeks depending on what their dams decide they get all their care from their dams. After that from 7 weeks to 12 weeks they learn to be dogs, bite inhibition, some even start to learn potty training.
Something that bothers me is that you stated she gets checked by the state all the time, so is that because she is USDA licensed?

I am glad that your a Christian and not that I am putting anyones religion down but to me that doesn't really mean alot because I don't know you personally. I believe actions speak way louder than words.
