| 2 Quick questions, please At what age do Yorkies have good coordination of their back legs? Are they still wobbly at age 4 weeks? I will go to see the litter that I will be picking from next Monday~they will be 5 weeks old. What should I expect at that age?

| Gosh, I don't know, but maybe if you post this in the breeder's section they might have an idea. I didn't get mine til they were about 12 weeks old, and by then they are pretty well coordinated.

| Four week old puppies are still a bit wobbly. Five week old puppies should be running around quite well unless they are overweight or have been confined in too small of an area. At 5 weeks they may exhibit shyness, depending on how much they have been handled. At what age are you getting the puppy? It would be better if they would let you wait and pick at 8 weeks. |

| I saw pics of them at 4 weeks and one looked a little wobbley, that's why I asked. She been sending me weekly pics and it so much fun to see them growing. It was a litter of 4 and they all look very healthy. I will see them on Monday at which they will be 5 1/2 weeks old and I need to choose from one of the 3 males and place my deposit. I will be picking him up at 8 weeks and 3 days old.

| In my opinion 8 weeks old is too early to pick up a puppy better at 12 weeks old. Donna Bird Brooklynn's Yorkshire Terriers |
