I am not a breeder, but had an accident litter in December. Even I knew to not let my pups go until they were 12 weeks (actually 1 is staying until she's 14 weeks and 1 is staying until she's 16 weeks). My smallest one, who is barely 2 pounds at 14 weeks, is staying with us, because I do not trust anyone with her. I don't want her hurt, or sick, or worse-bred, because she is too small and her tiny little body just couldn't handle it. Honestly, my 5 pound female, who is the mom of the puppies shouldn't have been bred, but hind sight is always 20/20.
Please take the advice of those here and know that if you get this puppy, it will not be old enough, and can possible mean heartache and pain for you. Yes, you may get lucky, but do you really want to risk it?? I purchased a 7 weeks old male, and a week later he contracted parvo, because he hadn't been vaccinated. That cost us $7500 to keep him alive. Can you afford that? Can you afford the treatments for liver shunt, or luxating patella or any of the other numerous problems yorkies are prone to??
Until people are educated and take a stand against unethical breeders, they will continue to sell 9 week old puppies with no testing, on full registrations, with bogus registries, at the expense of the consumer.
