He really should not be out and about until he is fully inoculated (parvo, etc) as he's extremely susceptible to life-threatening diseases at 9 weeks. |

At his extremely young and vulnerable age, he should actually *still* be with his Mama and littermates. Yorkies should actually not be taken from their Mama until at least 12 weeks old.
Remember, this tender little being has only been *living* for a mere 9 weeks -- and for his little entire life, he was warm and cozy with his Mama and littermates. It's very, very traumatizing and scary to suddenly be pulled from that life - and thrust into a new home. Go slow, keep him cozy, and remember that everything is very big and new and scary to him right now.
