I am glad they all have homes, just wish you would wait till they are 12 weeks old.

Dawn, please clarify or I will be left to think you began this thread for weekend entertainment purposes...NOTHING LIKE SCREAMIN LOUD AND PROUD about something you know darn well will cause chaos.
sooooo, please since you posted we are asking!!!

They all look like little sweethearts. It will be hard to see them go. Did you make the new owners promise to send pictures of them as they are growing up? If Amy would ever have puppies I don't think I could ever sell them. Would want them all to myself. And that is the reason the husband made sure I had her spayed. LOL

Surely this is a late April fools joke?

They are cuties. I am glad you found homes for them

Sorry I've been quit busy and am now just getting time to look over your reply's. No this is Not a Joke. I only wanted to share in my joy of finding wonderful families for each of them. I did a lot of weeding out those people that I didn't' feel could handle the responsibility of a new pup.

I have spoken to my vet who knows me and my pups very well. I asked her about keeping the little ones for up to 12 weeks because I was concerned about their size. I've never had pups this small before. She said that it has nothing to do with size but whether they are eating, drinking and are energetic. She said as long as they gaining weight and are doing well they can go at eight weeks old. So, upon her advise I am letting the two largest pups go at eight weeks. Bo has gone to his new family and I have been in contact with here and she said he did wonderful. Daisy will also leave this weekend. I have no doubt that they are going to be in great and capable hands. If I has any concerns what so ever they would not be going.

I am keeping the other smaller ones longer. My vet nor I have any concerns about there eating habits or energy level. They have been wormed and had one series of shot and will have second before leaving my home. I am very confident that each of them is ready and could go at eight weeks but I am choosing to keep the smallest one longer. Some will go at nine weeks and the other two will leave at 10 weeks of age.

I don't expect that any of you can understand my decision and I am not going to go back and forth with you as you question it. I will alway have the best interest of my pups at heart in any decision that I make concerning their well being.

Thank you to those who shared in this Joyful moment and to those with concerns. Thank you I appreciate it but it is really not necessary.

Thanks so much, Ruby hasn't been around them as much. She and the other big pups love play time. It so cute to see them play together.

The family that is taking Mylee lives in Hamllin WV. Im worried about her making the 5 and a half hour trip to her now home. I have sent her instructions for the trip from my vet. I will also be sending her home with some Nutrical for the trip home just in case there are an issurs with her energy level.

Dawn, can't the babies stay with Ruby until 12 weeks?

They are due for their shots on 4-19-13 at 10 weeks of age. If when they go to the vets for their next shots, there are any concerns I will definatly keep them longer. But as long as my vet gives the ok, they will be sent to their new families.

Vets can not know every breed and what is best for each breed and I have even heard many vets who say they go by what each breed club suggest. There is a lot of research that shows 12 weeks is best for so many reasons. Why not just give them the best start possible and keep them until 12 weeks. It makes me so sad that someone who is an active member of yt and that has seen the research would continue to do this. Can I ask why your not a member or the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America?

They are all adorable! Congratulations to all the new families.

She seriously just explained herself and you dont always know best. You're not a vet. I know your intentions are good. I'm not trying to attack. My opinion is that you should just focus your education of breeding on someone who needs it more. They're out there, as we both know.
