You're right she probably doesn't follow the standard..... |

200 dollars would not even cover vet fees as far as I'm concerned. |
Yes... I am adopting a Yorkie next month, and my breeder will not let my puppy go until she is at least 15 weeks. This is a good thing, as others on here have also posted, because the puppy needs to get the best possible care and nurturing from their mothers. Everyone wants to have a teeny weeny puppy, but you have to do what's in their best interest, if you really love and care for them. I wouldn't even buy from this breeder that you are trying to deal with. There are plenty of reputable breeders out there that put the puppy's care above all else, shop around. |

These are the same breeders we got our current Yorkie Rocky from so we have met them twice previously and been in contact via e-mail since. |
I got Lola at 7weeks, the girl I got her from didn't want her anymore so I took her. Lola is almost a year old and knock on wood healthy. Just make sure you keep Nutracal on hand or something similar to it just incase. I free feed so she always had food. Good luck with your new baby. |

My opinion is that 5 weeks is a bit young for outside contact. 8 weeks of age would be better, at least the first shot will be given at that time. |

In one study of a cross section of different puppies the age at which they were able to respond to a vaccine and develop protection covered a wide period of time. At six weeks of age, 25% of the puppies could be immunized. At 9 weeks of age, 40% of the puppies were able to respond to the vaccine. The number increased to 60% by 16 weeks, and by 18 weeks of age, 95% of the puppies could be immunized. Mary is right. Breeders who give vaccinations at six weeks are setting puppies up for parvo.

People who are not reputable breeders and ask a high price for unregistered will always price them higher for people to negotiate. I am sure it's all about the money otherwise why would she have unregistered dogs, letting them go so early, giving shots too early and doing everything else wrong? I wouldn't buy a pup under 12 weeks, I would prefer older even if possible. It's just too dangerous even IF you had good luck before it doesn't mean you will this time. This person sounds like a BYB and doesn't take the well being of her babies into mind. That's just my opinion. 900 sounds like a big rip off. You can't even guarantee your getting a purebred yorkie. Theres so many yorkies that are way lower priced from shelters then to spend 900. Like you said you can get a registered one for 800. |
I've been breeding for 13 years and my mentors for 20 plus we've all been giving first shots at 6 weeks. It's what my vet recomended since I first started and my puppies sometimes have 3 shots before they leave. I also put them outside at about 6-8 weeks old so they can start potty training. I've never had one instance of Parvo in all my years of breeding. I keep everyone up to date and on schedule! Neither have any of my mentors have had Parvo. I know you've all been doing research and if it works for you guys it works. This has worked for me all these years and I don't plan on changing. |

They all have gone home at 12 weeks and later. This last litter went home as late as 18 weeks. |
