YorkieRose, I value your input. I have never read anything that I did not agree with. I got Maggie at 8 weeks. She weighed 2.5 Even though she had a little meat on her bones, she really wasn't ready to come home. She cried, wouldn't eat, bowel and tummy problems. I was beginning to wonder if I had made a mistake by purchasing such a fragile baby. I had never owned a toy breed in my life. All my dogs are big, outside, working cattle dogs. Now Maggie is 4 months old and she is learning very quickly, is 95% housebroken (rings the bell on the door, when she needs to go out). Has knowledge of simple commands down pat. Eats very well. All of this only started falling into place just this past two weeks. Therefore, if I had to do this all over again, I would not be in such a hurry. That extra couple of weeks, means everything when it comes to getting settled in, for both the baby and the new parents.
