| I think I understand now When I first started thinking about getting a yorkie I did not understand why it was best to wait until 12 weeks or older. I got my bichon, Kirby at 6 weeks old eight years ago. Khloe is much older and has better puppy manners. Khole is not nipping at our fingers and toes. We are having less trouble getting her to potty outside. She understands about walking on her leash. She has had 3 sets of shots. At first I was concerned about missing out on those early puppy days (my new little girl will be 16 weeks old on this weekend) but now I understand. Khole is not a perfect puppy but she is a wonderful little girl. She even knows when to let Kirby have her space. There is no snapping and growling between my girls. |

| I wish they could keep your post at the top of the discussion page.....maybe as a sticky. So many people just don't get it. They want to take that little baby home as soon as possible. It's just so abnormal for the pups to leave the mom too soon and it is twice as difficult for the new owner to have a little baby that has no ability to adjust properly to the new surroundings. A 6 week old pup is just a defenseless little baby that needs to be snuggling with it's mom and litter mates, not trying to be a new family member in a strange place. Of course it will survive with proper care but as you have found there are so many other factors that need to be considered. |
