You will usually get different opinions here because some are professional breeders or very experienced Yorkie owners and there are also pet owners that are not aware of some the issues a Yorkie puppy can have.
Breeders that sell the very small Yorkies at a young age, like 8 to 12 weeks, are setting the puppy and the owner up for trouble. It sounds like you are a very attentive puppy owner. Do you know how much your puppy weighs? Do you know the symptoms of hypoglycemia? People who have Yorkies that grow to be 7lbs or larger tend not to have as many puppy issues although it is never wrong to take precautions as no one really knows for sure what size the puppy will mature to at such a young age. A little puppy that is happy and active can quickly wear down and have a fast drop in the glucose level. You need to be aware of the possibilities and decide when your puppy is large enough and it is safe enough to leave it alone. |
