Same here. I didn't mean to insinuate that I wouldn't support her either. We all will. I've learned soooooo much since I found this board. But sadly, she is going to need a VERY good vet if she is going to take the baby that early. That's the only point I was trying to make. 6 weeks is way too young for one of our furbabies.

To the OP - we got our little yorkies at 6 weeks old due to some circumstances with the breeder. They are on the larger size (weighed just over 2 lbs each) which made it a bit less scary for us. So far things are going great. They do have each other, though, so that helps with the loneliness of leaving mom & siblings.

I'm still new to this as well, but feel free to ask any questions. Bringing home a new liitle one is scary sometimes. Please keep us updated on how it is going.

Oh, and congrats on the new pup!

When my princess had her puppies, my vet told me to let them go between 6 and 8 weeks but i didnt listen to her because i just couldnt do that...they were so tiny. I only let one go anyway but not until she was 3 months old and she was still tiny. The others i kept...i get attached so easily

We got Lucy at 8 weeks, which is considered ok here in the UK - our vet was quite happy about it. We had no real problems at all - but Lucy was pee-pad trained already and was very sociable from the word go.
