They are not by any stretch of the means a bad breeder.
But we're going wayyy off topic here.  |
Personally as far as yorkies go I think all reputable breeders follow the breed club and are a member of the breed club and there rule is 12 weeks. Reading what I have on it and hearing all the stories from the people who got there pups early and most of them having biting issues and then listen to the people who go there pups a 12 weeks I think it shows 12 weeks is best. I would guess if the silky club (which I have never looked at) does not mention it or have a rule of it then maybe it is not such a problem with silky's.
