Lucy is doing just fine, she never cried once for her mama or siblings, we brought her home and she went directly to her new little soft bed instead of a dirty swimming pool and no toys, she has lots of toys now and is very happy.She is eating good and gaining weight she will go soon for her first shots I will have vet check her over and I will let you know how that turned out |
Yorkies should be with their moms until 12 weeks for many reasons. It’s not just about being weaned but they teach them things. Not good breeder would do that and when you buy from bad breeders you are A LOT more likely that your puppy has bad genes and could have health issues. It also keeps these bad breeders in business where they keep producing unhealthy puppies. You should not get any shots before 8 weeks or they are useless and the puppy will require 4 sets then. A good vet should know that.
