We brought Higgins home at 7.5 weeks and he did wonderfully. Even managed to live after I SAT on him (I weigh well over 200 lbs). And because he was brought up travelling and living in campgrounds (we were full-time RVers), he is well socialized.
We are retired and had the time to devote to him, and I think it makes a difference. Not sure I would take home such a young puppy if I was working or couldn't devote the time they need at that age.
Every situation is a little different, both the pup's and yours, so go with what feels right to you. |
