I got my puppy at 8 weeks only because I was home all the time, I would never be gone for more than an hour...so the breeder released him and gave me a tube of nutrical in case of hypoglycemia. I sometimes wish I wasn't so excited and waited until 10-12 weeks because he was SOOO fragile still at less than 1 and a half lbs, and they still are kind of wobbly/clumsy walkers at that age. I spent every waking moment worrying that something was going to happen to him. I feared he was going to get stepped on, he would knock over a lamp, closed in a door, chew on electric cords, eat a plastic bag, get dropped by a young child. The anxiety is sooooooo not worth it. I would suggest you wait, having a good sturdy puppy come home would be best for everyone. Thought you should hear it from someone who got a puppy so young. Hope this eases your stress.
