| Welcome to YT. Your pup is definitely young, but based on the circumstances the breeder has described to you and his size, I think it will be better for him to be with you. I hope you are able to be home with him all or most of the day. Definitely keep Nutrical on hand and give it regularly and have a good vet lined up in case of emergency. Everyone here on YT will help with anything we can. Good luck with him and get ready to fall completely and totally in love like you've never imagined!!

| I think he'll be fine. I just kind of question whether or not he is actually eating dry kibble yet or if it's moistened! If you need help, besides your breeder friends, you have lots of friends to help here, too! Welcome to YT!

Thanks so much!!!! You guys are the greatest! She did say that she is moistening the dry food with water. She has him on Eukanuba but I've heard great things about Royal Canine and they are soft. I plan on beginning his transition to RC as soon as he gets home. It should take about a week, right? | |

| I wouldn't start changing his food right away. The stress of a new home is enough change for the time being. If he does ok for a few days and there are no problems, then you can start adding a few bites of your new food a little more at a time. Just a gradual transition to the new food. I haven't read all of the replies here, but I'm certain someone has advised you to have Nutracal on hand just in case.

| no dont do it... trust me please read my post in regards too getting my first yorkie babie coby he's ok now but my was it hell the first few weeks.. coby had just turn 9 weeks and it was very scary.. i would say that this person doesn't sound like a reputablebreeder if they are letting the baby go at 6 weeks.. i was told 9 week was early enough well 6 this baby still nursing on his mother.. poor thing..i would say no you dont want too have too see your poor baby sick and then your vet bills are not easy on your pockets when they are sick like this.. because they r too young too be away from there mother.. my coby wouldnt eat and he was losing weight it was horrible waking up losing sleep being in the house 24 hrs too watch him not knowing if he was going too have another seizure,, these babie face horrible low blood sugar,, and if that happens its very sad seeing these babie trying too fight i had this happen too my coby and i'll yell you i never in life want too see it again.. with this said it's best too wait it's not worth rushing in too your get another babie if the breeders not willing too wait he should be willing too wait if he a good breeder for the sake of his puppies health.. also alot of people on yt help out and answer qestions and they have , had yorkies some for years,, being new i would wait,, i love my coby but plenty times i was so scared of losing him i thought waiting it out would have been better,, but now he;s ok it was all worth it but yes very stressful if you work and no ones home with him dont get him please.. i'm and at home mother so coby had me 24 hrs a day thank god |

| but i wish you the best i dont mean too come off like this but i just wanna try to prevent or make people a ware of what could happen but doesn't mean it will happen too everyone.. but lots of yts told me no too wait.. but in my case i had no choice because where i bought coby from i would lose my money.. but in the future i know what a real reputable breeder is and that's a person that really loves there animals.. and wont rush them off because they want them as healthy as possible : ) best wishes |
