Welcome to YT. Please don't beat yourself up or your hubby about the lack of information. When we know better we do better. Right now just love your Ali and read as much as you can about these sweet yorkies

YT is a fantastic site filled with fun, loving, knowledgeable yorkie owners

Thank all of you soooo much for the warm welcome!

To be honest I dont think I was this nervous about bringing my skinkids home when they were babies! lol And know there are so many nice people around to talk with about my new fur baby makes me feel so much better. I may have sounded upset at my husband earlier for getting me Alli for christmas and that was not the case by no means. He had no idea about the age thing and I am thrilled to have her. I just want whats best for her. Thanks again to all of you for the info and the warm welcome.

I know how you feel. I was lost when I got my doggie I read a lot but nothing like getting answers to your questions inmediately from experienced people. I've learned a lot on this site and feel much better about taking care of my baby now.
Mia just turned 4 months yesterday and is now 4.8 lbs.

Make sure you get some nutrical for your baby that would prevent the hipoglycemia.

Good Luck
Marlene and Mia

What a sweet husband! As long as the puppy checks out okay at the vet, she will probably be fine. Glad she is out of that breeder's home and in a good loving home where she will get the care she needs. Good luck with her.

welcome to YT

i had a bad experience with milu's breeder as well. milu is a wonderful dog, and she didn't come home too early, but when i got her she was really dirty, smelly, and she had ear mites and a small scab on her..
he really did not take very good care of his dogs IMO! and i never recommend him to people either. (since people always ask me where i got my dog~she is a little angel!

)

yorkiepuppie · 01-10-2009, 02:45 AM

make sure you have nutri-cal handy, you will probably need it since your baby is so young!

Don't worry too much about getting them too young, I think the idea is to wait but like you I got a yorkie at younger than it is suggested because I just didn't know better. My little guy was 7 weeks old when we brought him home. He is now 7 months and really is well behaved. He was pretty easy to house break, he learns new tricks quickly, doesn't bark excessively and overall is a great dog. We have worried lately that he is a little lonely and bought another yorkie from a different breeder. He'll be coming home in Feb and we are excited about raising them together.

She was a surprise christmas present for me and he brought her home to me on christmas eve. My alli didnt turn 6 weeks till christmas day!!!

she seems to be doing ok but i am worried every minute about her and the hypoglycemia and training and you name it! To top all of that of the breeder is supposedly a "groomer" too and they knew when he was picking her up and they hadnt bathed her or anything and she smelled dirty! No bery good advertisement for their business! I will not be using them for anything! Thank goodness now that i have found yall!

everyone wish me luck in my journey!
