Hello Everyone:

Thanks for such an excellent resource for yorkie lovers. This is my first post but I've been lurking around here for several months learning tons of excellent info on the breed. Our family is acquiring a yorkie puppy next month from a breeder that I believe is reputable.

I have a couple of concerns though and would appreciate some input.

We went to visit the puppies this weekend for the third time since they were born six and a half weeks ago. We will be taking our puppy home at 10.5 weeks. Anyway, as we were leaving, I went to put the mother back inside the box with the puppies. The breeder told me that the mother wasn't feeding the puppies anymore. The mother dog was trying to jump out of the box so I took her out. Does all of this sound normal?

We are looking for a calmer puppy and noticed that one of the puppies was very quiet and content to just sit beside us quietly while her sibs were tearing around the house. This puppy's stomach looked quite bloated and round compared to the other two. Is that a sign of worms? The breeder informed me that she had just de-wormed them the day before. This quiet puppy was the active one just a couple of weeks ago and I am wondering if she is sick or if she is just turning into a really mellow pup.

I'm probably just a little nervous and overthinking things . Thanks again for any insights. Andy
