Keeping her close or in a puppy front pack & letting her sleep near you will help sooth her some. She will miss the warmth & comfort of her mom & siblings. Expect her to cry a lot! The best thing is Nurtri-Cal but light corn syrup will work if in a pinch. I would look online if you are not able to get it in Canada. Best of luck as you will need it! Please post some pictures & how she is doing as we all love a baby fix!

I just wouldn't take a dog that young. No breeder is going to force a puppy on me at that age! Young puppies belong with their mother being imprinted and cared for in the peace and comfort of the birth home so that pup can ge the maximum good start it needs in life.

Thank you so much for all your replies ... I have read each and every one of them... And your concerns do not go unreconized ... Theres a little bit more to this tho the reason why she is anxious to rid of her pups... The breeder has cancer and does not have the energy to keep up and is also thinking about rehoming mom as well ... Shes just having a hard tome letting her go... She interview us to make sure we have what it takes and being im a stay at home mom and wife ... And i dedicated my life for my children 1 of which was 2 months early and another who battled h1n1last stages .... She knew i had what it took to dedicate myself to raising her pup ... I know there will be sleepless nites perhaps bottle feedings and hand feeding her ... I know what hypoglecimia is in humans and i know what to do there .... Now my question is how pups differ ... I know they have to bring there blood sugar up but is there anything else i can get for her other than nutrical to help her ... Here in canada i ask a vet about they look at me like im crazy they havent even heard of it! I am willing to travel to detroit to get some if that is the only cure... MIAS. Appointment is thursday and i plan to have her check over well ...
I was hoping i could get some other helpful advice to help sooth her transition ... Like maybe sticking a big stuffed dog next to her that has a lil heartbeat built inside it mite help sooth her at nite ... Just an example ... But being most of you seem well educated about yorkies i was looking for some educational advice ... About soothing ... And making this as stress free as possible for Mia ...
My only concern is helping her , nuture her , and love her into a healthy yorkie

Hi darling! I don't want to rain on your parade and I souly just want to educate you on facts...here in America puppies do not recieve their first set of vaccinations until 8 weeks, then 12, then the final at 16. Puppies are still learning so much from their mom through 12 weeks. I had Miley stay until 13 weeks which my breeder preferred. Mia has to learn things like bite inhibition and socialization which all come from her mother. I'm not sure what vets you have in Canada but that doesn't seem right. I'm still so excited to see yor Mia and I know you will take excellent care of her! Congratulstions!!

Everywhere it's different. Both Nena and Rufus got their first shots when they were 6 weeks old. That's how they do it here. Then when I got them, I had to take them for their 2nd and 3d.
I got my pups at 8 weeks because that's how they do it here.

In another thread, she explained the situation to as to why she is taking the pups so early.

It's good for her to know why it is important for the pup to stay with the mom.
But her situation right now is not a common one

There are many ignorant, unethical, risky behaviors that there are no laws against....unfortunately, when this need is denied to these little souls, the innocent baby suffers and if it even survives, will go through the rest of its life with issues that may not be horrific, but could make that baby, through NO fault of its own, a less than desireable family member.....even destined to end up in a pound, rescue, requiring rehabillitation, or on the streets.......or worse.
