6 1/2 weeks is very young, most other breeds will let pups go around 6-7 weeks old but because yorkies are so much smaller most reputable yorkie breeders won't let their pups go until they are around 10-12 weeks. My little girl was almost 10 weeks old when I got her. They learn a lot from their mothers in that short period of time and the breeder is repsonible for getting their shots and vacinations, things like that.

I do know of people who have gotten their yorkies that young and do fine, just be careful and watch out for her and make sure she gets enough to eat, you don't want her going into a hpyglycemic attack. You sound like you are a great mommy and are really concerned for what is best for her so I am sure she will be fine!

Were you able to see her parents when you got her? I bet they were beautiful considering how cute she is!!

Best of luck to you and your baby!!
