I would strongly suggest you purchase several books on the Yorkie breed, the first being one called, "Yorkies For Dummies". It is imperative that you become knowledgable about this breed that you have bought, better late than never.

A Yorkie at age 6 weeks is very vulnerable and not vaccinated....parvo is rampant in many States, and it will kill a baby that has qabsolutely no protection. Reputable breeders are more concerned about the health of their babies, and will hold onto a Yorkie puppy until at least 12 weeks of age....vaccinations start at 8 weeks of age, and babies are being supported and cared for by their mommas as well as he breeder, being taught so many lessons that keep any future owner from having to deal with....emotional issues, health issues, behavioral issues, etc.....reputable breeders want to hand over one of their precious babies to a new owner, that is the very best it can be, and in the best condition it possibly can be, which ensures it the best future it can possibly have. Reputable breeders will not sell to a new owner that does not have some basic knowledge about Yorkies, the breed, the specific baby they are wanting to buy, and a general idea of what is "right" and what is "wrong" in any given situation with this new baby. The condition of the pup, the breeding behind the pup, the start in life the pup has had, plus a knowledgable owner, is imperative to ensure this pup is going to survive and thrive.

Good luck with your new baby.....get that book immediately and read it cover to cover.

I forgot to say, it is illegal to sell puppies before they are 8 weeks old in many States.
