Good breeders will follow the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America and will care a lot about there yorkie pups and will keep them until 12 weeks to make sure they are getting the best start possible. Most breeders who skip this step are skipping many other steps trying to save money and you can end up with an unhealthy puppy with lots of problems and paying lots of money to a vet. At 6 weeks you absolutely can't leave that puppy alone it will need to be feed at least every two hours, the puppy should not be over handled, need to be kept warm, is going to probably have biting problems and need to be taught bite inhibition and socialization. Hypoglycemia is the biggest issue and can cause death. I believe getting a puppy under 8 weeks is illegal in most states so personally I would report the breeder and walk away. Supporting bad breeders just keeps them in business longer. I also am not sure that any shots given around or before 6 weeks will take.
