| I can't remember when I started bathing mine but I know Lacey, who was very tiny was bathed right after I got her, which was 14 weeks. The thing I would be concerned about is making sure you have warm towels ready, of course use warm water and I blow dry Lacey completely, even after a year. I tried to let her run around the house, which is kept warm because my husband is sick and she did get a chill. Fortunately I noticed it and warmed her up right away, she's 4 lbs now, but it scared me. Some yorkies like my Chloe just loved it when I let her dry herself by running on the bed, etc but she is larger. |

| AS long as they are kept warm you can bath them at 8 weeks. (if they are a decent size) how much do they weigh?

| I got Desi at 12 weeks old and she was a little stinky. It was Feb. so it was bitter cold so I turned up the heat really high, gave her a bath and wrapped her in warm towel. I blow dryed her on low and she was fine.
