What "week" is good - YorkieTalk.com Forums

to pick out a puppy? The litter that Im getting my yorkiepoo from should be born sometime this week. I do believe the momma's due date is tomorrow. The parents are both small (4ish pounds)so Im not expecting the litter to be big. I get first pick, we are close friends with the owners and we've had dibs on a pup since they told us they were breeding thier dogs.

I am a sucker for puppies and will want to choose one right away however I would like a pup with a laid back personality, not too aggressive but not lazy either. When do they start showing their personalities?
Thanks
Terri

congrats! we just had puppies yesterday,and you def. can tell with them whos got some spunk! I'd probably tell you to wait maybe a month or so, just so they get bigger. Do you want a male or female?

I would say their personality really comes though between 4-6 weeks old.

I agree and sometimes things happen in the first few weeks too.

How happy I'm for you, my neighbor and dear friend has a yorkiepoo and she is just adorable, I think around 8 week maybe but I will wait like a 10 to 14 weeks to pick her up and bring her home, do you have any name yet?
