we do demand pictures of your babies by the way... its the law

Yes, I totally agree.
The reason I brought him home early is because the previous "parents" were...how do I put this nicely...being irresponsible. They had already separated Arion from his mommy at five weeks and were feeding him way too much Gatorade. According to my research, puppies and dogs are given Gatorade to counter the effects of hypoglycemia and/or dehydration; however, Arion was neither dehydrated nor was he showing symptoms of hypoglycemia.
When we brought him home, he adjusted quickly and is continuously thriving. I brought him home because I knew I could give him the care he deserves and desperately needed.
My hubby and I run our own business so we are home with the puppies all the time. We take them when we run errands. We even take them to meetings. Quite frankly, if people have problems with a couple of quiet and well-behaved puppies in their crates, I probably wouldn't want to do business with them anyways
.
I probably spend more time researching about yorkies (I mean I've been a dog owner for a long time, but Apollo and Arion are my first yorkies) than anything else. Thank goodness my hubby takes care of everything else (squeaky laughter).
With all that being said, thank you for all the replies and advice.
I will post pictures soon.
