Hi everyone! I'm new here and very excited to say that I am picking up my very first yorkie baby boy on Saturday! He is all that I can think about and (as most new mother probably are) I'm anxious, nervous and praying that I will be the kind of mommy he deserves. I do have one concern and a few questions. I'm getting him at 6 weeks from the breeder. He's already started eating kibbles and she said that she would never send him home if she thought that he weren't ready but from what I've read in many books this is too soon. How old was your yorky when you got him/her? Is 6 weeks too soon? Has anyone taken home a yorkie that young?

Next, I've heard that you can calculate approx. the adult weight by what a yorkie weighs at 8 or 12 weeks. Is this true?

Last, does anyone have advice on what to do when I first bring him home? Any experiences? Thanks in advance!
