Personally I feel it should be 12 weeks or more to bring your puppy home. I think it is important they learn sociaization and are with the mother to learn things. My last yorkie had separation anxiety from just bringing her home from the breeder at eight weeks old. I did not know alot then and now I learned so much especially from the breeder when we bought our littl kinder we have now. I guess I would go on and look for another breeder . Yorkie Talk helped me out and I am glad you are on this site to learn more. If this is your first puppy let it be a wonderful experience and learn all you can from the great people on this site.
