Everything I read before I got my baby girl said to wait at least until 10 weeks, and that 12 weeks was ideal.  Is the Mom on-site with the puppies?  If so, I'd make sure she stays there until she's 12 weeks, but if the mom isn't with the puppies anymore anyway, then I guess it won't make much difference if you bring her home earlier.  Either way, good luck!  I'm sorry to hear you lost Lexi.  I can't imagine how heartbreaking that is for you!        |
