Congrats!!!! I know how excited you are :) You asked about socializing, I don't have any experience with singleton pups but I do have an older dog (non-yorkie) who was part of a litter and now due to my lack of knowledge isn't a very social dog. She tolerates her sister (my yorkie Chloe) but has fear of other dogs because I failed to socialize her. I would think that provided you take your little one out for walks and allow her to sniff and check out other (friendly) dogs she should be fine. Due to circumstances beyond my control my 1st dog didn't get the walks that she should have for learning social skills. Also Petsmart has doggie daycare if you don't have friends with dogs which will give your little girl the opportunity to develop her doggy social skills.

I wouldn't worry about her vet visits until she is home with you. You have said that your breeder is good so she will insure that your little girl gets the vet care needed. Once you take her home at 12+ weeks of age you need to take her to see your vet. All good breeders allow you a time period usually 72 hours to have your pup checked out for health issues and offer a 1 year health guarentee.

If she is your first yorkie I highly recommend reading about caring for your yorkie pup. There is great info here on YT. There are specific health concerns such as hypoglycemia that you need to be aware of prior to bringing baby home.

Again Congrats and please share some pics once you have some. We LOVE baby pictures :)

I hope I did not offend anyone I just know nothing about breeding so thought there had to be an xray or you wouldn't know when she was done having pups I have no idea that right after they go to the vet for a check and stuff. Sorry learn stuff everyday.

Thanks for all of your feedback. I did pick up a few books on yorkies. I currently have a bichon furbaby but I have never had a yorkie before. Yes I am so thrilled and nervous. The new kid on the block is doing well so far:) and I pray this continues. The reason I say this is because we all know there is a higher power that controls everything. Even the best breeder can't guarantee things will go perfectly.

Congrats to you and I am so happy for you! Hope the time flies by before you get that baby girl in your arms!

My blue born Mack brown was a singleton pup... He had no problem adjusting and learned socialization from his momma... I think perhaps he was even more spoiled being a single pup... All eyes were always on him!!! We never had issues with biting, etc... Although he was a fatty while nursing, he has leveled out at almost 5 pounds... He turned one last month... Congrats on your new baby!! It's going to Seem like forever till you get her home!!!
