I would have preferred to have him stay in the little a bit longer, and she actually said we could pick him up next weekend instead, but she was coming to Florida yesterday to Naples, we got to excited, told her to bring him down with her, and we would meet her
2-1/2 hours away off 75.

The vet told us today not to freak out about him a little younger, and that it's common to have a puppy pulled after 8 weeks. I did allot of research and knew all the questions to ask, and never asked if June 12th was 12 weeks, we assumed it

He is eating well, through out the day 6-8 times, and drinking well.

We weren't prepared for a pup yet, so I had no way to crate him last night bringing him home

3am after having him in a travel crate, I ran to walmart and bought a gate to gate the bathroom off. We set our alarm clock every 3 hours to wake up and make sure he was ok, and let him out.

Overall, my wife and I ended up last night with 3 hours sleep, checking on him all night

Ordered a more suitable crate for him today, bought him puppy toys, a Excersize den, all kinds of stuff.

Only hard part is when he whines, I jump up to run to him.

The vet suggested let him whine, but he's so precious, I jump everytime he does it at night

A few things I learned , Lisa was great with Carter Yorkies, the get said her health guarantee is something printed off the web, and not a typical health guarantee

The vet also mentioned the shot she dated on the writen grantee
The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America who knows all things yorkie says puppies should not leave there mom until 12 weeks. This is because they are still learning from there moms until 12 weeks so puppies leaving there mom before 12 weeks can having bitting issues and socialization issues. Also good breeders don't let them go before 12 weeks and when a breeder is cutting corners with one thing you can bet they are with other things like the health and genetic testing and so on so you do have a chance of your pup developing genetic issues and they may not pop up until 2 years old. My vet told me there is no way for any vet to know the standard and what is best for every breed simply because there are to many.
