| New thought on my vacation... I already posted, asking a similar question. But now I was wondering.... How young is too young to take a puppy on a weeks vacation WITH me? Is 13 weeks too young, would it stress her out? Just wonderin. Thanks! |

| I've taken a car trip for a long weekend with 4 week old puppies. But I had their mom and she travelled very well. The puppies did just fine. I'd be concerned about stressing her also if she hasn't adjusted to you yet. There is always the possibility that she will not eat due to the stress, and then you could have some serious problems. Good luck

| I'd probably say it also depends where you are going? 13 weeks is young and if you just got the pup perhaps it's not best to be taking them out too much until all the shots are done. |

| I would leave them with someone I truly trust to take care of mine...The stress part would be on the puppy and on you too.... I also think they like routine and that would be at home...And you wouldn't have to worry about finding a vet if something happened while you were all away...Or if they weren't allowed in certain places... That's just my opinion...

| I know I already answered this on your other thread, but I think it really is in your pup's best interest to stay with mommy until she is twelve weeks when you get back from your vacation. I think that at such a young age, either leaving her with family or taking her with you is going to be stressful. I certainly wouldn't take her anywhere until she's had all of her shots. It's bad enough for a larger puppy to get sick, but a for a yorkies it's almost always a death sentence. Good luck with whatever you decide, can't wait to see pics of her.

First of all your puppy hasn't had it's full compliment of vaccinations. 13 weeks is much too young to even be taking the puppy out in public. The puppy is still prone to hyperglycemia, which can be caused be stressful situations, not eating well (most yorkie puppies don't eat well in new environments), too much play or handling.

| Okay, thanks! I didn't think it was a good idea... Just a thought! I forgot about having the shots and everything! So......We'll see. I may just skip the vacation.... I will be too stressed out about her anyway to enjoy the trip (if I even get her by then, I am going to talk to the breeder this weekend about how old she will be when I get her!). Thanks everyone for your help! |
