I completely forgot about hypoglycemia. Good point. Even if someone is home with the pup all day, a 6 week old pup is probably going to be over-handled by new owners. Pups need lots of rest.

If the health and behavioral issues don't concern people, I would stress again that as a buyer, you cannot adequately assess a 6 week old pup. If you want a quality yorkie, best to wait until at least 12 weeks. When good breeders are looking for their next show dog, they can't tell for sure which will be great at that age.
