| How old does my pup look? Hey there! My name is Dani, and my new pup is Kimchi. We are currently stationed in Seoul, South Korea. here you get puppies from the shady puppy stores, which is what we did. Puppy mills, pet stores are not frowned upon here, especially in a country where dog is on their menu. Obviously this is not normal for us in the states. Anyway we bought our pup yesterday from the most legit place around, and he is trying to tell me that the pup is 9 weeks old. However, Im not buying it. I have never owned a yorkie but I will post a few pics to get opinions on his age. He only has a few teeth, 2 on top and maybe 2-6 on bottom. He has been great in the last 24 hours though. Has only gone potty on his wee wee pads, slept in the Kennel without crying, eats and drinks healthy. But I just wanted to get a more realistic date for his age, and any special care I might need. I have done a lot of googling but its hard to weed the good info from the bad. Anyway any info or advice will be great!! he is a little wobbly on his feet but we have hardwood. He loves to cuddle and he plays often. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...es1/kimchi.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...ries1/pic2.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...ries1/pic3.jpg and yes we do plan on taking him to the vet, and keeping him up on all his shots! I have a lot of time for now on my hands and enough patience to go around! |

| Welcome to YT! You have a beautiful pup - really cute. In my opinion, he looks like only 6-7 weeks old. I'm not an expert at all - just a guess. Enjoy him! You'll find a lot of really helpful people on YT! |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Oh my, he's a cutie but I have to agree, he looks young. Make sure he is eating several times a day, I'd even give him canned food as well. He doesn't look 9 wks to me either. Do they really have dog on the menu??? |

| He does look pretty young...but I don't know anything! When I adopted Snickers, we weren't sure of his age. I got three different estimates from three different vets. One said probably 6 months, one said 8-12 months and another said 18 months to 2-years! I'm sure your vet will give you an estimate when you take him there....although there will be people here who can give you a good idea.

Poppy's Mamma ♥ Donating Member | The pup looks pretty similar to Poppy in this pic: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pic...ictureid=92347 Poppy was 7 weeks old at the time of that pic and was beginning to get her teeth in.

Yes, while I was stationed there I saw this is just a few places. Mind you, the dog isn't like the kind of dogs we know. They are raised as livestock and served as such. They wouldn't take a yorkie and chop it up to put in stew. Don't worry, I didn't try Fido, but I did feel a tiny bit better knowing it wasn't random strays that they feed. And most of the younger generations don't eat it, and I think they are trying to get it outlawed. In my opinion, OP your pup is not 9 weeks old yet. Sorry the guy lied. | |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hmmm...I just checked it and I don't see any virus there at all. It may just be some virus that you picked up, and it may be triggered (on your computer) when you click on outbound links or something...
