This is grave digging, but apparently a post was made on my thread, a year after the last post, and I cannot, and will not let it go unanswered.

TwoforFun: I do not know what you got from this thread, but apparently you did not clearly read what I wrote.

And so I will say it again, without a wall of text.
What does it matter that I do not agree with the behavioral aspects given as the reason for 12 weeks being the minimum age a yorkie should go to it's new home, when I agreed (and always agreed) with all the HEALTH reasons given? However, there was only one health reason that I knew about.

Now, I can explain to people that if they get a yorkie puppy, the puppy NEEDS to be AT LEAST 12 weeks, because then the puppy's teeth will all be out, and the puppy can eat, (minimizing the chances for hypoglycemia). That the puppy will have had at least 2 shots, and the passive immunity they got from their mom will have begun to fade, so the shots are effective. That the breeder will have observed the puppy and if the puppy has an increased chance of having liver shunt, the experienced breeder may recognize it, and not sell the puppy until it has been tested. I can utilize the information passed to me by knowledgeable breeders on this site to inform people interested in puppies to find a breeder that will NOT sell before 12 weeks of age, for health reasons that anyone and everyone can understand, leaving out behavioral issues that many people have different opinions about and may not agree with.
The HEALTH reasons given for this age limit are NOT subjective.
Sooo... What is it that I should be changing my mind about?? And what it is you think I do not fully understand?
