New Morkie Baby (and pic!) Well hello! I've been lurking on this site for days now and figured it's time to join in the fun. I'm the od new momma of an 8 week old morkie baby. I will be picking him up and bringing him home on Sunday and I'm RIDICULOUSLY excited!! (4 more days) I'm completely enthralled by the blonde color, it's just so bright compared to others I've seen at this age. I'm thinking about transitioning him to a 100% home cooked diet but I'm unsure how to proceed without messing up his poor tiny stomach, digestion or appetite etc. any suggestions? Any how, here's my new baby :D http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l6...ps63687da3.jpg |
What a cute little one. I hope the pup and you have joy and fun together. * weeks is a little young to bring home anyway you can hold out till the pup is 12 weeks. I know it's a long hard wait but much better for your new fur kid:) |
Pups should stay with there moms until 12 weeks is there any way the breeder will keep her a few more weeks? There mom is still teaching her pups bite inhibition, socialization and other things between 8-12 weeks. |
To, be honest I'm not really certain. But since she has already made arrangements for transport, it may be too late to change the date |

Yes, genetic testing on both as well as a health guarantee on the puppy where I can bring him back to her if there's something wrong with him |
8 weeks is way to young to leave mom. A professional breeder would not let pup go at such a young age, 6 weeks is the usual age. Godd luck you you and you lil morkie, the are lil cuties. Please send pics and keep ujp updated. |

sorry I miss read ad, thought it was a 2 week old pup, 12 weeks would be better, but if arrangements have already been made!!!!! 8 weeks is NOT a dangerous age to leave mom. have fun with your new baby, I know how excited you must be. |

Hi NurseLo, and welcome to Yorkie Talk! Your little guy is adorable, and I can see your excitement. I have 3 Morkies, and 1 Yorkie, and they sure are fun. I wish you all the best with your new boy, and if you have any questions let us know. There is a ton of information that might be helpful for you in this from the Yorkie Talk Library: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pup...w-parents.html |
Thank you everyone :) I'm still super excited and counting the days. I think I will be taking weekly or twice a week pictures to document his growth and color change. I can't wait! |

I totally agree with all that you say, poster wrote that arrangements already made & didn't know if they could be changed. That's why I wrote 8 weeks is not dangerous, but I do agree with you 1000% 12 weeks, and good breeder knows this, so that tells me, this IS NOT A BREEDER, someone's dog that had pups, at their wits end for having to care for pups, and looking to get rid of them all ASAP. |

Have you thought of a name yet? |

welcome to YT, what type of transport will your pup be traveling in. I hope it's not by plane, while there is mixed feelings on if 8 weeks is to young to leave their mom, I do think it is to young to be shipped. I have a yorkie mix as well so I am by no means a high end yorkie snob, but I do have to say, I have never seen a breeder of mixes health test. In reality very few breeders health test and most are show breeders, so this has me curious. I hate to ask, because I normally try not to rain on someone's parade when getting a puppy, but I have seen so many people lately get taken by internet breeders of "designer breeds" can you tell us where your puppy will be coming from. |
