One thing to remember is that pious blood lines, vets or breeders who don't follow accepted patterns of keeping very young, tiny pups with the mom will none of them keep your baby safe at home and lead him through these next puppyhood weeks - only you can do that. Stay on this site, take the good advice of the many and watch him like a hawk for things that really can go wrong with a dog this young and this tiny. Your vet may not have had any experience with tinies or Yorkie so bear that in mind. Your breeder should have known better but perhaps they didn't.
The people on this site have had years of experience caring for and getting this tiny breed through good and bad times so go with the words of those that have been there before and often and you can rarely go wrong. Read and study threads on here as you can and educate yourself on all the things you need to know, have the map to the Emergency Vet handy as any new puppy owner does and enjoy your Yorkie. They are the most wonderful breed!
