My parents took her to the vet for a check-up right now. Thank you, I feel less worried now. (This is my first puppy ever) Lol.

I got her from a trusted breeder. I read many books that when their at least 8 weeks old their ready to go. :)

Sounds normal to me. Is the dog a little rotund due to feeding from mothers milk? This will surely add wobble to her stride. You should mention it to your vet at her first appointment which you should make fairly soon for her initial check up and to get her established.

When ever you buy a new puppy you should bring it to your vet and have it checked out right away. Several states have lemon laws which cover you for at least 3 days, some states have 2 weeks. During that time your vet should give you an evaluation. Those states that do have lemon laws do have more coverage than the first few days or weeks however if there is something (anything) that you want to be aware of, you should get an evaluation done right away. Don't you have a contract saying that you will have the puppy evaluated quickly or did you go to a store. If you went to a store, my opinion would be to have your own vet do a private evaluation right away anyway. Why only see what the store's vet says? I do wonder why the puppy is only 8 weeks most of the better Yorkie breeders don't let them go until 12.

Congratulations on your new puppy! I bet she is adorable! It could very well be that she is so young,she wobbling like a baby does. I would give her alittle more time,if she is still wobbling in a month then I would take her to the vet.. If she has other problems now, besides the wobbling, I would take her to the vet right away.

Yes its very normal i got a pure breed myself and this same problem went on with me. I was pretty scared at first but after taking her to the vet and getting her checked out it was all normal. Its just the muscles and bones getting used to her moving around. She is still a baby and just like human babies its time for them to get used to everything on their body. Hoped it helped

yes it is normal....it is almost like they don't have their land legs or coordination! It will get better soon. Just think of a puppy like you would a baby or a toddler not all of the hand eye coordination is there but they learn! And have fun....

if she was in a cage or small area and she couldnt walk around or exersise much... no it is normal she will get used to her new home.
if not find out about its birth or if it had problems.
if u got it from a dog breader it may be mentaly challenged because its parents were brother and sister. I know this is strange but some dog breaders force them to do that.
