| ![]() I think "not spoiling" your dog is the least of your concerns. Keeping the pup alive and healthy is number one right now. I didn't get my girl Emma until 12 weeks. They are VERY fragile and require alot of attention at 12 weeks, I can't imagine 7 weeks!!! Research the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, make sure she's hydrated, and keep her away from the lab! That's what you need to be concerned with. |

| ![]() I've yet to meet a yorkie that isn't spoiled! You just can't help giving them whatever they want when they look at you with those little eyes, raise a paw, and tilt their heads. As for introducing your baby to an older dog, I wouldn't worry too much. I introduced Boo Boo to my 3 year old lab Molly pretty quickly and she soon adopted him as her own baby. She has learned to be very careful with him and even does a little dance to avoid getting tangled in his leash when we are outside. Boo even sleeps in her bed with her when he's tired and I"m not ready for bed. As long as you do what you can to take care and love your babies they will be fine. |

| ![]() Congratulations! Nutrical close at hand will be a necessity. Don't worry about spoiling your furbaby, at this young age it will need LOTS of cuddles and love. Don't hesitate to come here for advice. Everyone is so helpful. Be prepared for some sleepless nights followed by days filled with kisses, cuddles, and laughter. |

| ![]() Oh my! I feel like I have a new born baby! I haven't had a full night sleep since we brought him home. Thanks so much for all the advice -so helpful. Ernie is doing great. You should see him hop and play - absolutely adorable! Crate training was not successful, I cannot stand to hear him cry. However, he is "bed" trained. I put his little bed between myself and my husband at night, and he sleeps there (or next to me) all night. He will stay in it during the day as long as I am nearby, and has never had an accident in it. Potty training is a challenge, but we are doing okay. I do have to wipe him, though, because he cannot quite clean himself adequately yet. Thanks to the comments on this thread, I was so prepared (especially helpful is the nutracal and cheerios). Anyway, he is unbelievably cute and sweet - I was not prepared to fall in love so quickly - but he has won my heart! I will post pics as soon as I figure out how ![]() |

| ![]() I would also be concered with a breeder "wanting" you to take the pup. Is there a contract involved with your sale? Is the breeder giving you some kind of a health guarantee? I know that you're ready to bring your new baby home, but think of the heartache and expense if the pup gets sick or worse. This so called "breeder" is not looking out for the best interest of the pups if they are pushing you to take him. My breeder wouldn't let me bring my pup home until she was 16 weeks (and it's actually 20 weeks since she has to be shipped to me). I see that you have already brought him home, so at the very least, please make sure that you are doing all of the research you can on the breed and how to care for one so small!

Since the first 8 weeks of their lives they should only have the attention of their mom. With breeders only intervening to weigh and make sure that they recieving adequate nutrition. From 8 to 12 weeks is mother's time to traine, socialize and for them to begin their introduction to humans...... Good Luck with your lil guy and just keep a close watch on him, make sure he gets a good last meal at night and make sure kibbles are always available.....

| ![]() I want to say please be careful having such a young tiny baby on the bed with you. Not that I think someone would hurt him but during the night I would be afraid that he may fall off the bed and injure himself. |

| ![]() Pixie came home at 8 weeks and I found it a lil challenging. I had a 5 year old jack-a-poo and I allowed her to sniff Pixie through the ex-pen for about 2 days before I even let Daisy get next to Pixie. Pixie wasn't eating or drinking well at first so I would put food on my finger and let her lick it off and I would put water on my finger and slowly lower it to the bowl. I had to watch Pixie and Daisy together, I slowly let them interact. I never left them alone together and Pixie iws 5.5 months now and I still do not leave them alone together. When I have to go somewhere Pixie goes in her ex-pen that way I know she can't get into anything. Daisy is so good with Pixie, but I never let my gaurd down bc sometimes even play has to be broken up due to it gets to wild. So please NEVER leave them alone together!! both my dogs are on wellness and they are doing great!! Congrats to you on your new puppy they are so much fun!!
