What's better?

Gosh he is adorable. I wish you many years of love and fun with him

Thank you he's adjusting very well running and playing with the kids I have to get his kennel ready for to night I hope he doesn't cry he's gonna sleep in my room so I'm hoping that helps him

Ok so since my JoJo was already an adult and I didn't have to worry about shots only yearly when should Jasper get his shots
The lady said she gave him the heart guard and flea med for the month and that he had his first set of shots I totally forgot how puppies get their shots lol I am planing on taking him to the vet on Thursday or Friday

I'm getting him fixed so no parti babies for him ... He's had a bath and a nice new hair cut I'll post a pic from the computer the iPad doesn't let me oh and he weighs 4.2 lbs so he's gonna be a great size for us my kids and I are sooo happy he's a great addition to our family we named him Jasper

Two months old? Sorry that's not a rehome, they must be breeders. They had two didn't you say?

Are puppies 8 weeks old even supposed to get heartworm and flea meds yet?

I'm sorry but I think this was probably a breeder who wanted to get rid of her pups they are to young to be rehomes in my opinion and way to young to even be from there mom. I think replying to adds in papers is a very bad idea and I think if you want to rescue a reputable rescue is the best place.

Wow she does have a life and one of the things she does is help to rescue dogs who need homes and that makes a hero in my opinion but maybe I am spending to much time with my dog............

I agree. It's because of selfless, caring people like TxVicki that many of us are able to have these wonderful dogs. Not to mention the fact that she contributes in many positive ways to the success of Yorkie Talk in educating us newbies to provide the best quality life possible for our yorkies. A little respect please.

He'll be 12 weeks on weds and the lady I got him from was going to use him as a stud for the other puppy she sold she. was not able to keep them as planned so she was re selling them or re homing them ... She must have gotten him from another breeder at an earlier age I was more concerned with the fact that she was gonna breed them and wasn't a "breeder" so I figured he would be better off with us and in a home where he will be loved and cared for ... As for the whole heart guard and flea meds a puppy that's 6 weeks and older cam use advantix and heart guard I think at 8 weeks and older but I'm not sure on the heart guard I haven't looked it up yet anyway he's going to the vet thursday or Friday I have to call them tomorrow ...

[yorkielover916]

Just looked it up and heartgard can be given to pups 6 weeks and older

[yorkielover916]

Advantix can be given at 7 weeks my bad

[aliciagee]

Congratulations on ur new baby

I would try to get him to the vet as soon as possible for a check and not put it off.

[yorkielover916]

Not putting it off I just won't be able to take him until then

You cannot tell if a pup is breeding worthy at 8 wks old. Not even the best showers can. This just confirms that these people are breeders, not rehoming or rescuers.
