Hi everyone i am new here and new to the Yorkie breed as well. I just got a 6 week old, (i know its bad) she is a very healthy girl. Well i live in south korea(military husband) and i have a maltese (4 months old). Before i got Chiquito i had gotten Georgie a sweet 8 week old baby, after only 3 days of having him he died
, I went back where i got Georgie and they offered me another Yorkie. I was so sad over Georgie that I decided i didn't want another Yorkie or any other pet. I don't speak korean and well they didn't speak english but basically it came down to another puppy or no money back. That is how i got my maltese, his mommy was there and they had 3 little ones, Chiquito was the medium size one, and I brought him home. He is so healthy and such a beautiful boy. I never forgot georgie and wanted another Yorkie. The vet where i take my maltese to had this little girl and he offered her to me. At first i was having doubts because when we got there to see her she was so tiny but the more i though about it the more I wanted her, it was love at first sight. I am doing my best to take care of her, I haven't slept 3 hours straight watching her, and making sure she eats. I feel so bad that she was taken away from her mommy
. Here in korea is not unsual to see puppies being sold at 7 or 8 weeks
, I got Chiquito at 8 weeks(it doesn't make it right). Well she is doing very good and she eats like a little pig
.
I know when i brought Chiquito home I gave him a bath 2 days later, Georgie never got a bath
. She is very tiny, I am afraid to bathe her, does anybody know at what age she can have her first bath??(she stinks so bad
) here is her pic so you can see how tiny she is. Should i wait? I don't want to put her in any kind of danger.
