I have also had a puppy that has been 8 weeks old and they are just fine.... I just needed to know. How Yorkies act as puppies but I guess this is not the right website for me to get good information.
Thank you for your time. When Are Puppy Dogs Ready to Be Taken From Their Mother? | Dog Care - The Daily Puppy |
You don't know where I've been getting my info? Look at all the other answers yorkies are vary small dogs and happen to get low blood sugar. If the pup is taken from mother too young you have a higher risk of loosing your pup. Btw this is the best sites to get info on yorkies. Many breeders on here happen to let there baby's nurse till 10 weeks. You obviously haven't read how much attention a 1-3 pound yorkie needs. They need to learn socialization till 12 weeks from mother. Some breeders even keep them longer if they are tiny. Yes they will thrive at 12 weeks but they still need mom from 8-12 weeks. Just because she is a hobby breeder you have a higher chance of having a pup down the line with multiple health issues because she dirint take the time to do the genetic. Also just because mom and dad are healthy dosent mean that when you mix both of there genes it will be the perfect match and have excellent pups. That's your call.
