I definitely think pups shouldn't leave their mom and littermates until at least 8 weeks. They learn such valuable lessons in those last few weeks. In fact it's illegal in some states to sell a puppy younger than that...
8 week old pups? Your thoughts?
I see lots of people posting about bringing their pups home at 8 weeks of age or earlier in some cases.
I just wanted to see what everyones' opinions are about this. Personally, I don't feel like pups should leave the litter earlier than 10 weeks if possible. Ijust feel there are so many less health and behavioural problems this way. Sure you miss a little bit of the "tiny puppy stage" but to me it has been totally worth it.
What about everyone else?

That's an interesting point of view...why do you think that the pup would be healthier if it stayed with it's mother for a year?I think the puppy and the mother dog should not be separated until it's 1 year old. Just to stay the puppy healthy.
