That's good that the breeder is not letting them go too early, 12 weeks is minimum age recommended by YTCA and very tiny pups (under 2 lbs). stay even longer. The pup will have most of the puppy shots by then, and will not be as "fragile" then. How much do they weigh now?
It's too bad you can't spend more time with them to choose. While it is nice to see the breeding facility, I understand it is not always possible. There are breeders who have had their property and pets infected with parvo, brought in from outside, and it can be emotionally and financially devastating. Others are concerned about theft, as burglars have been known to steal whole litters of Yorkies, knowing how valuable they are.
Just make sure you get a good health guarantee. Are they AKC registered? All 3 look like perfect little Yorkies, and I know you will be happy with which ever one you get. If the breeder knows you and your family, she may be of great help in picking the right one for you.
