[Yorkiemom1]

No one can EVER go on this forum and say they lost a baby because they "just didnt know" something about the care and nurturing of that baby. There are many written publications, concerning the care and feeding of a Yorkie, some probably available in countries other than America, that give the EVIDENCED BASED OUTCOMES for taking Yorkies away from their moms too early. This is not "suppositions and guestimations" put out by the AKC....there have actually been funded studies done on this, with the results published. I am very open to learning...please give me the title of ONE book about Yorkies, that states it is acceptable and does not contribute to any adverse health or psychological issues for the Yorkie that is removed from its momma before 12 weeks of age. I have not seen even one such publication. People on here are passionate about these little dogs. It is VERY difficult to sit and watch a runaway train about to leave the tracks, and not start yelling and waving frantically, trying to help the person at the controls drive the thing. You would HOPE the person had read a book or two about trains....you would hope the person at least knew where the brake was.....you would hope the person had an idea of what happens when a train leaves the tracks.....but if you cared at all about the person or the innocents along for the ride, you could NOT, WITH GOOD CONSCIENCE just accept the fact that this person was about to get in way over her head, endangering everyone on board, and just wave as she flew by, calling out simply, "Have a great ride".....Just because someone does not have enough experience to ask the correct questions, does not mean the obvious concerns should be ignored by people that DO know the pitfalls, because of some misguided sense of decorum.
