I start bathing and ear clipping at 6 weeks...they need to be used to grooming before the new owner gets them..so I do mine every week there after.
No need to put them in warm water..then you have a wet pup and have to blow them dry..I have put a wash cloth in the microwave to warm it then wrapped the pup in it for a few minutes...make sure it is warm and not hot.
I know Boxer and large breed breeders who do tails the first day, but not Yorkies..too much stress.
