| New here but just wanted to say hi Hi, I'm new here of course. I just got my yorkiepoo 3 weeks ago. His name is Little Man. Long story on how he got his name. I got him when he was 5 weeks old, but was told he was 6 weeks old. I've had a pretty rough time with him the first 2 weeks, but now we are doing great. He's stubborn and sneaky, but that makes me love him more and more everyday. We are still learning each other. I have posted pictures of Little Man in the My Yorkie section. Have a Great Day! |

| Welcome to YorkieTalk! Your little one sounds adorable. And if he's stubborn...oh yes, he's a yorkie. Don't you just love them? I am not surprised that you have had a struggle. Oh my! Five weeks is very young! Was he even weaned yet? I am so sorry that you have had to go through the resulting problems. From the research I have done, I know that knowledgeable breeders won't adopt out puppies until they are around 12-14 weeks old. Those weeks were important ones where his mom and littermates could have taught him a lot of good things. You will need to work hard on socialization. Probably harder than most new puppy parents. YorkieTalk can be a wonderful resource and support for you. Feel free to ask any and all questions. Good luck and once again...welcome!

Thank you for the welcome. Oh yeah I do love him. Since I've gotten him, he's brought me so much joy and lots of laughter. No he wasn't weaned. I had to bottle feed him for awhile. He came from a really bad situation. My cousin got his older brother from the same people, so when I was told to come and get him I didn't take any chances. I did however take him to the vet the next day. That's how I learned he was only 5 weeks old. He loves meeting new people, but still a little skiddish around other animals, except his older brother. When they are together, they act like siblings even though there is almost a year between them. When all my friends and family seen him they wanted him. Especially my mom and she really can't stand to have an inside animal, but when she seen him she just had to have him. I told her to get her own! lol | |

| welcome!! Wow - 5 weeks -- that's really early!! Glad you've done well. Most reputable breeders do not let their pups go until 10-12 weeks. Would like to see pictures
