I've heard 10-12 weeks is best. That said, I actually got mine at 6 weeks due to a tragedy with the mother and had no problems.

Welcome! Tino is a cute little guy! Please spare him from a lot of commotion at Christmas, though.

Yeah, Im not going to take him away until he is ready, Im completely with you on that guys. We are going to see him again next weekend. Im in constant contact with the breeder so we both know whats happening.

Do you know what is the best toy to get as a first toy?

HI! and welcome. I am a fairly new member here myself. I got my Yorkie while we were living in South Korea. We made a pen out of stackable shelving material. It was about 3 ft by 4 ft, at one side was her bed( a travel bed-like you can take on airlines) and the other was lined with pee pads. She felt safe in her bed as it was like a den. When she was about 5 months old, we bought a crate. She sleeps there at night and then I leave her travel bed out and she gets in it during the day if she wants. I want her to stay used to the travel bed cause we fly alot. She has gone back and forth from Korea to Texas about 7 times with no trouble. We let her sleep in our room in her travel bed at night until she was 5 months old. She woke up about three times at night till about four months but I got her when she was 9 weeks old, so she was very young. That is the only thing I remember that was hard. It was like having a new born baby!! no sleep. Good luck with your new baby. YOu will get lots of support and information here.
