I'm a bit confused with this situation.. I am a relatively new yorkie owner & Lacey was a sick adult when I got her, but, none the less, an adult. I joined this group to learn..and I have learned a lot!! The one common thing I have read in multiple threads is that yorkies (toy breed) puppies should stay with their mother for at least 12 weeks! OP why is the friend separating them? Why not find a foster (maybe you) that can take them all>? At least the mother could feed and socialize her pups while you work. If the breeder is a friend, she would trust you with her dog for a few weeks?! It might help her crisis too!
Information can seem harsh if its not what we hope to hear...that is our issue not the person providing it. |
