The following was taken from that site...

FAQ: How old are my puppies when they go home? This info is
taken directly from
AKCs own site: "Many animal behaviorists agree that socialization reaches its peak at the 49th day (7 weeks). At 8 to 9 weeks, the pup can go to his new owner and home. (If you choose a good breeder,) He has received human contact and love. He has been exposed to different environments and house breaking. Now the breeder can choose with confidence their pup for future breeding and showing. And they can place the puppies they choose to sell according to their temperaments in homes with new owners. Different personalities will match different homes and families. The individual attention, interaction and love that puppies receive during their first seven weeks are invaluable and will reap lifetimes of rewards." My puppies are healthy and not prone to hypoglycemia, etc. as some pet store and backyard breeders puppies are. One of the best Yorkies I ever bought, I got when she was 5 weeks old- so smart and bonded with her people. My puppies often go home around 8 weeks with great success, as you will read on the Happy Families page.

I don't agree with her belief that it's ok to get a puppy at 5 or 8 weeks of age. Large breed puppies may be ok to go home at 8 weeks (NOT 5) but it's not advisable for a toy breed to do so.

I agree, 8 weeks for yorkies is way too young to leave. Period!


Why are you looking in Ga., when you live in NY??

I saw your last puppy was from Arkansas. You should really look close to you so you can see the parents, see where the pups come from, and see the puppies.

Are you trying to be a breeder?

I am sure there are some really good breeders in your area. Be sure to do your research and glad you are checking on breeders now. A puppy is a long commitment that should last more than 15 years, usually. So this decision should not be made in haste.

There is a post that has certain things to look for when deciding on a pup as to what to look for in a breeder. It is recommended to get a yorkie no younger than 12 weeks of age. There are several reasons why - yorkies can become stress and get hypoglycemia due to leaving to their new home too early. And yorkies are terriers and need that extra contact and play time with their mom. I would not buy from anyone that sells their pups younger than 12 weeks of age. Age is just one things to look for when choosing your puppy.

I posted this in another thread a few days ago, but I think it is applicable here as well.
Here is a list of red flags to look for when you are considering a breeder. Check and see how many (if any) of them apply to this breeder.

* Dogs not being bred to meet the breed standard. (Which means you have to have a good understanding of what the standar is.)
* Dog that are unregistered
* Breeders who have multiple litters in a very short amount of time
* Advertising dogs as "teacups" or "minatures"
* Breeders using females that are too small (under 5 lbs for breeding)
* Extremely cheap dogs--breeding comes with costs, extreme low prices suggests they are cutting corners somewhere
* Pet store dogs (these are supplied by puppy mills)
* Breeders that do not perform health testing on pups and parents (specific health tests, not just "vet checked")
* Releasing pups at a very young age---6 wks, or 8 wks. For Yorkies, releasing them around 12 weeks is preferred
* Breeders who don't place dogs on spay/neuter agreements
* Not having a sales agreement with health guarantee

Probably because they are about 3x the price in NY then in GA. Southern states especially have a lower cost of living so they have to charge a lot less, so even with shipping she can get a quality puppy.

How much do pups go for in NY?? Here the typical pup is 1500. from a reputable breeder that does testing. People do have to be careful though, since you can buy a pup cheaper here in Georgia, but they are from either puppymillers or BYB and do not do the testings and make short cuts. Most of these cheaper breeders also do not follow through with their guarantees. I get a lot of sad calls from people that tried to go cheaper and ended up with emergency visits or even a puppy that did not make it and one case I know of they had to spy on the breeder to finally confront them. Not a happy situation.
Or so many of them do not turn out to standard and then people get upset when the pup grows up to be really big, or won't grow a coat, or later in years end up with petella problems or allergies, or other problems. Going cheaper it not the best idea. Reason one has to do their research!

Most all the reputable breeders here do not give full registrations on a puppy.

I am so proud someone understands this because it is fact
housing is the same here, I am sure that is why so many retire in some of the southern states

I think, if I am not wrong, KY is cheaper cost than Georgia. I know I have gone to KY or Carolinas and things are a lot cheaper since it is harder to find the higher paying jobs, thus housing and cost of living is chaper. I have gone to even the Wal-Marts through my travels and even noticed their prices are different depending on where you live. I know NY city has higher prices, but not sure on the outer areas.

I would love to live in the south, and I would love to travel around a bit down in those states.

My mom said when I was a little girl like 5 or6, I just all of a sudden one day started talking with a deep southern accent. She said I did it for awhile, constant.. Kinda freaked her out I think..LOL..

I think I am a southerner at heart

I love the Southern Accent. I lived here as a child and then moved up morth for awhile and many of the kids would ask me questions just to get me to talk. Then they would laugh. I learned to get rid of my accent fast. I then moved to Florida for awhile and met and married my hubby and had kids. Then moved back to Georgia. My daughter has a Southern accent now. It did take her awhile.
I do love it here. Winters not so bad (except this year). I am glad the cold is gone. I love my sweet tea and peaches. Most people are pretty nice and will say Hi when they pass and open doors still for you. I said most, but not all people.
Oh, we have a thing here too - when you pass someone driving in the country - you raise up your pointer finger as you pass as a way to say Hay! :-)

Typical home price is about 200,000 - to 300,000 average around here for 3 bedroom/2 bath. I know California is higher. Gas is at about 2.69 - 2.74 per gallon regular here in Georgia.

Thanks Misty. I think the health testing is a big one around here that many do not do to save costs. So sad!! Every pup and parent should be tested and screened! Doesn't make sense to me why anyone could in good faith breed two dogs together and not do the health screenings/testings or hand over a pup to someone and not do the screenings/health testings on that and each pup. Shocker to me, but there are so many breeders that skip this (health testings) here in my state. One should always ask and get a copy of the puppy's results when they purchase.
