what age do you? Do you let any new puppy go to here new families/homes? Some tell me when the can eat food! some tell me when they are 12 wks! I got mine at 9 wks My litters I think will be strong enough at 8 to 9 wks. |
they need mom I would say till 10 or 12 weeks. there are alot of reasons.. 1 being the social interaction I'm sure there are more but I am to sleepy to think sorry. |

I've read in books, the best age is 12 weeks. |
12 weeks is best, but shipping is easiest at 14 weeks :) |
12 weeks at the earliest. After weaning moms have much more training to do, socializing, manners, ranking order, etc. Puppies should never leave before their 2nd series of shots and being vet checked. Since 1st series is not given before 8 weeks of age and the 2nd not until the 3 or 4 weeks after....that would bring you to 12 weeks. Besides that you as a breeder should be socializing the puppies and making sure that potty training is completed. |
Please, no sooner than 12 weeks. |
Hi Debbie - you know I'm not a breeder, but for what it is worth..... I think you need to evaluate the size of the puppy and also if they are going to a person who has owned yorkies before. If the pups are very tiny, I would keep them longer, especially if going to a first time yorkie owner. If they are good sized (2 lbs or larger) and going to an experienced yorkie owner, I think 10 weeks would be fine. |
i woiuld think I would deffintly think that with yorkies and all small dogs that the babies should stay with there mommies for atleast 12 weeks after birth , not only because they are so small but also because they need more care then most dogs , because they are so so so fragile , I would keep them 12 weeks but start advertising sooner that way you have time to screen the buyeers to make sure the little ones are going to a great loving wonderfull home |

I say 10-12 weeks depending on the dog and the person. I let 2 go at 10 weeks before...both times because the persons getting the pups were able to make arrangments to take time off work to dedicate their time fully to the adjustment of the dog. I felt given the situation, 10 weeks with full attention was better than 12 weeks with less attention. |

No it's not unheard of, not just in KY....but, is letting them go at such an early age beneficial for the pup (especially a toy breed)? But, since I'm a member of the Mother Club I must follow a code of conduct/ethics. Puppies leaving the breeders possession will be a minimum of twelve weeks of age to facilitate adequate socialization as well as appropriate emotional and temperament development through interaction with siblings, dam and other dogs. Pups must not and will not leave my home without a minimum of to innoculations. |
