Should a puppy be before leaving it's mother?

I got my last two at nine weeks, but I think 8 weeks is okay too.

ok good, because we found a female who is turning 3 weeks and she is ready the 17 of Dec. So about 8 weeks Smile

o.k. so not going with that female. after talking to two other breeders I have gotten less than good info about this woman. She never asked for any references or any info about me at all! Both the other breeders want references and have questionaires and contracts....My name will go on the list for a puppy due this weekend Smile

keep your fingers crossed!!

In a bigger breed I would say 8 weeks in my breed of choice 12 weeks

I'm not sure when my breeder sends the pups home. I don't want to ask too many questions and get my hopes up yet.

if someone wanted a yorkie and only asked a couple of questions I passed them over on my wait list to the ones that asked a ton of questions

I agree with no sooner than 12 weeks.

I emailed her back just to check in on mom (if she had her pups yet) and ask if she heard back from my contacts.

Thanks Yorkie. No pups yet but she heard back from one reference and liked what she read. She is going to call me tonight.
I really hope she picks us..I feel like I'm adopting a child! :lol:

I don't have a preference Yorkie but I will ask her which she thinks would be better for our family.
