[Yorkiemom1]

I am sorry you find people that are very knowledgable with this breed, abrasive. If you have never owned a Yorkie before, then of course you see nothing wrong with getting an 8 week old baby....but sometimes we have to learn the hard way. If you have read threads on this forum from just over the last 2 weeks, you would see sooooo many issues with babies going to new homes before they should be. If you had read ANY books at all on Yorkies, you would have read in ANY of them, these babies should stay with their mommas until they are 12 weeks old...that advice is common knowledge to people that have a working knowledge of Yorkies, and you will NOT find ANYTHING, ANYWHERE that disputes this. Sometimes, we need to stop and regardless of how smart we are, we need to look at who is giving advice, and if they are in a position to KNOW MORE than we do, we need to, for the SAKE OF THE PUPPY, back down and rethink our stance or conviction. FYI....you say you have waited for 2 months for a puppy....I have people that go on my waiting lists for a year or more.....I would say if you can go out and get a puppy anywhere in Houston tomorrow, I would suggest you do that....only make sure it is 12 weeks old or more, have had its vaccinations at least started, microchipped and on a worming schedule, is sold with a contract and a health guarantee. Good luck with your baby.....I suspect you will need it. Taking these babies prematurely, has immediate consequences as well as issues later on in life. Get some reading material and become informed. It will not only help YOU, it will help the baby.
