| How old?? Would you buy a 5 month old puppy?? I'm just wondering because i have been looking at some biewer pups that are 5 months old..Is it going to be harder to house break or harder for my other dogs to adjust to it? any help would be great!

| At 5 months they are till basically puppies and other dogs will still see them as puppies. Many yorkies aren't house broken at 5 months. Good Luck Keep us posted |

| Both of my boys were right at 4 months when we got them and they were fine...I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a 5 month old puppy. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Go for it. Joey's 5 1/2 months and rarely has a day where he doesn't have one "accident." Last couple of weeks have been much better though.

| I agree. I got wookie at 4 1/2 months old. And he was definitely still a puppy. He wasn't house trained until he was over a year old But thats more my fault |

| Heck yeah! MUCH better than a teeny tiny young puppy any day. Have these pups been with the Mommy all this time? All the better if so, they'll be so much more trained and socialized I'm jealous, I wanna Biewer too!!!! No really, I'm thrilled for you, good luck!

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Same here. I think any age puppy is still a puppy and 5 months is still a youngster. If you have an opportunity to get a 5 month old biewer go for it, you won't be sorry. |

| I actually like to get the older puppies, so a 5 month old puppy works out great for me.
