Hi, i'm New and so is my puppy Hazel! hi everyone, my name is Hollei and i am i mommy to Hazel who is 8 weeks old. My friend just so happens to be the breeder, and Hazel got cleared on Friday to leave her. She comes home to me tomorrow! i am quite nervous! i want to do everything right, but i also have alot of questions. i am going to crate train my angel. any tips, and no no's i should know about? TRUST ME! i have been reading up on EVERYTHING for the past month or so, so i know the basics. some questions i had: when can i walk her? i am really anxious to, but i know it may not be safe right now... When can i give her a bath for the first time? should i feed her more then 3 times a day? she has an ABUNDANCE of toys, my little girl is SPOILED. i also am keeping her in my room, which i "puppy proofed" to the best of my ability. i think i got everything. i was told that she may be scared of me the first couple of days and may not want to eat since shes in a new environment. thats gonna break my heart! well thank you in advance for any feedback! |
Oh and my baby is 1 lbs! shes soo tiny! i will post more pictures once i have her tomorrow. |
She is beautiful! Welcome to YT! If you do a search here you will find more info than you could ever need :D |

I would advise you to ask the breeder to keep her until she weighs at least double that. Look at the Poppy is home thread in the General Discussion forum, and you will find lots of suggestions about the care and feeding of a wee little one. |

While the vet has issued a health clearance, most reputable breeders do not place Yorkies prior to 12 wks of age, and certainly not at 1lb 8wks of age. You will need to do a lot to insure her safety and health in these early days, hypoglycemia in one this small is a real and present danger. It really really is best if your breeder can keep her until she is older and weighs more. |

However, you're puppy is just eight weeks and should remain with it's mother until 12 weeks of age, for a well socialized healthy pup. Your pup is very tiny and has just begun eating pretty well on it's own, but it is a crucial time. Your pup would be receiving it's first innoculation between 8 and 9 weeks. If nothing else, maybe taking the mom and the pups in for you to care for would be the best option. At this age my pups are periodically still nursing on their mothers. A good breeder never lets their pups go until a minimum of 12 weeks and weighing two pounds. The pups should have a minimum of 2 innoculations. |

First one should be received between 8 and 9 weeks, 2nd should be received at 12 weeks and 3rd at 16 weeks. Rabies between 6 and 7 months. Check the YT library for Dr. Dodds Vaccination Protocol. Read it and follow it. |

Hi .. Welcome to YT ... She if she can stay with her fur mommy for a few more weeks ... you want a healthy and strong baby. You can still go over a few times a week to let her know that you are her 2 legged mommy. I know it is hard not to snuggle and love her right now but really see if she can stay with her fur mommy ..just for a little while longer |
Congrats on your new baby...and welcome to YT! :) You've received great advice so far. My Lulu weighed just over 1 lb at 8 weeks. She didn't come home with us until she was almost 14 weeks old & right at 2 lbs. I am so glad she stayed the extra time with her furmommy & littermates. She adjusted so easily when she did get to come home & we've had no hypoglycemia episodes at all. It really is best if your baby can stay with her furmommy until 12 weeks & 2 lbs...it will make your life eaiser when she does come home. And it really is best for the puppy as well. :aimeeyork |

Great Thinking Gemy !!!! :thumbup::aimeeyork:animal36:animal-pa You need Hazel with her Fur Mommy -just for a little while |
i will see if i can watch her mother as well. but if thats not possible fro some reason, would it make a difference if she saw her mother daily, or every other day? |

Trust me when i say... its no fun worrying about if your little girl is gonna be ok. Poppy came home yesterday and i found out when she was at home that she is only 5weeks old. Its horrible and i am constantly worrying about her and if she is going to be ok and if she is getting enough fluid and food etc. Its really not fun to worry about them this much. See if she can stay with the fur mum a tiny bit longer not just for the pups sake but for yours, i would hate you to go through what i am going through right now. Good luck xxx |
the other puppies will be gone tomorrow as well, and idk who they are going to. as i said i will try to watch both dogs, well 3 because the breeder owns the mom and dad of Hazel. Thank you everyone. |

Not too concerned for the pups sake about the Dad, Mom and Pup great, and if the only way is to take the Dad too, then I guess that would be best. If there is a way you can keep your pup with the MOM, that would be best. Mardelin, and others will be here to support you, and to answer your questions. |

Gemy & Mardelin have given some great advice and I'd go with what they have said! Your Hazel is beautiful though! Welcome to YT! |
