Eyes open at one week of age.....I know some very experienced breeders, decades and decades of breeding and exhibiting... 15 days is the average, give or take a day or two. 8 weeks of age is a bit young to place a pup...they are just being weaned and mom has just begun potty training and socializing... |
Need more pictures. |

You will find that many experienced, respected breeders disagree with placing them that young. Likewise, not sure I would be letting children and all my friends handle week old pups, but again, that's just ME. However, there is a big difference between 'house training' and 'socializing'--not sure I understand that part...?:) I think that when 'socializing' was mentioned, it was in reference to social skills that pups obtain from interacting with their littermates...something that human contact is no substituion for. If your experience has proven otherwise to you, then that is great! :thumbup: |
8 weeks is much to young to let a puppy go. They are just being weaned (I let my dams call the shots there). From the age of 8 weeks on the dams do so much with their puppies.....I do what is best for the puppy not the client.. I do not let puppies go home at Christmas. These are toy dogs.....Christmas is much too busy of a time....guests coming in and out of the house, a puppy can escape.....puppies stepped on, hyperglycemic...being a busy time...you can forget they need rest and food. It is my responsibility to insure puppies go home house trained....and very socialized.....no, it isn't unrealistic...... |

Of course, I would expect as much from you Mary, given your many years of dedication breeding. |

Yep, 2 then the water broke, then 2 more?? Is that what happened? Eyes open at a week? This seems all just a little strange. I too in all my long years have never heard of that happening, guess stranger things have happen... :confused: :confused: I also totally agree with all who have said Yorkie puppies should not be sold at 8 weeks if you honestly care about the puppies and their well being. The things their mother can give them and teach them is invaluable. I sincerely hope you reconsider. |
