I have one BIG suggestion that I tell all neq puppy owners and that is "Your Yorkie will train you before yo train them!!" Take a week off work and really work with that new baby. AND, yes, it isimportant for that breeder to keep that baby til it is 12 weeks old. It might not be hangin' with its mom, but she is very busy training that baby what its place is. It really worries me when a breeder says it doesn't make any difference. I begin to think either they don't know this breed very well or that they don't give a rat's patoot about the real socialization of that baby. The responsible breeders I know keep the puppies with mom and siblings til they are at least 10 weeks old..I am not saying your breeder is irresponsible, but I would strongly urge you to ask her to keep your baby longer. What do you think, Yorkie Rose?? |
