| My breeder says 8 weeks? Hello everybody, i feel this is an imortant question to ask because I want my baby to stay healthy. My breeder says she can come home at 8 weeks, isn't the norm 12 weeks? Please help, I really want to keep baby Khloe healthy. As much as I would love to have her home at 8 weeks, if it is better for her at 12 weeks I think i should wait! Please help me. TIA

| Hello There! yes, it is best to wait until 12 weeks- 8 weeks in entirely too young. I would ask the breeder to keep her longer. However, I would be leery of a breeder who allows her pups to go home at 8 weeks old, usually it is only a sign of other things they aren't doing correctly.

yes i have been to her house and seen the puppies, and the parents, everything looks to be great, no flags of being puppy mill or anything, I actually stopped up there unexpectedly just so that I could get the "FULL EFFECT" the babies look great so far. I don't know if she said this just because she knows I am excited to bring her home or what? thanks everyone that has answered me. I will be calling her to have her keep her for 12 weeks instead of 8. I am also going to ask her if 8 weeks and home is norm for her and the puppies?

| Hey everybody, so I just made myself out to look like an idiot. I called my breeder and asked her if she would keep baby Khloe until she is 12 weeks and she says yes, she is so glad that I asked her to. She says she told me that she usually keeps them until at least 12 weeks. However I do not remember her saying that, I just remember saying they do not leave before 8 weeks old. Sure enough I went back and looked at all the old emails and she says that 12 weeks and later is usually when she lets the babies go. I have to say that is a huge relief off my shoulders. Especially when my uncle that shows her yorkies is the one that recommended her. thank you all for the replys and sorry I made myself look stupid.

| So glad to hear your baby will be staying for a few more weeks. They really need that time with mom and siblings. Great news!!!

Every breeder I've talked with has said 12-16wks old. 8 weeks, for any puppy, I believe is entirely too young in my opinion. At least 12 | |

| Can't wait to hear about your baby and your experience with this breeder! It's always great to hear good reviews (as well as bad) of a breeder--it helps increase our knowledge base for new potential furbaby owners. Congratulations on your new addition, can't wait for pictures! |
