I just put the deposit down for the boy. So excited!

The little guy is 5 weeks old now. The seller said he will be ready to go home by Xmas. (which will be around 7 weeks)

I did some research online and it seems a bit early to bring it home. The seller said 7 weeks is critical to start bonding, but it seems a lot of places suggested at least 8-10 weeks.

Any person has brought their baby home before 8 -10 weeks? Did you think you made a right choice? Any tips?

We were thinking to take the baby home beginning of Jan, so he will be at least 8 weeks old then. Should we wait a little bit longer? (It's so hard to resist not taking him home)

Not sure if this information is useful but one of us will be home most of the day so someone will be watching over him for the most part.

The seller has a few newborn around so we thought it might be a good idea for our puppy to socialize with the rest of the dogs for a little while first...

This is going to be our first dog so we want to make sure we do it right with the dog.

I know there is a yorkie puppy care guide here....but if anyone have suggestions on a particular brand/product that we should get before the pup comes home, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
