Hi. Before I ask the question. I would like explain myself first. In New Zealand it is common to get a puppy at 8 weeks old and they are often sold younger.
I already own little Tilly who I got at 7 weeks and she is doing really well and is now 16 weeks.
Yesterday I received my little Alfie a Maltese. I meet the breeder a couple of hours drive away ( she drove and meet me half way). While Alfie is perfect and obviously very well looked after I have to question his age. He only has his two fang teeth at the top. I was told the puppy was 7 weeks. How old do you think he may be.
Please don't give me a hard time for purchasing a pup so young, but like I said it is common here.
