I try so hard to only post positive and helpful suggestions but feel so so sad by this breeder selling you this precious baby at 7 weeks old. I see that you have been a member for over a year so would have hoped you would have done your research as to how to identify a reputable breeder. We are all members of this group because we love the Yorkshire Terrier breed and the only way we can keep this breed alive is by insisting on and supporting quality breeding standards. Otherwise, we are all at risk of losing all of the things that make these dogs the absolute best breed in the world. Might be a little biased but I do feel passionately about our babies. Having said that, what's done is done and I am hoping that you are going to make a commitment to help this baby overcome the obvious horror of her early life. Make a commitment to her health and make her safety your priority. Potty training is not important at this stage. Keeping your puppy alive by proper nutrition, nurturing your puppy, socializing your puppy, getting her shots and vet work done. You can do this. Do not run from criticism about your pups age. Own it and vow to make a difference from this point forward. Keep coming back for support, education, advise. I truly hope for the best for both of you.
