I first saw my baby at 8 weeks and the breeder didn't know then when she was going to let me bring her home. She said maybe another week, maybe up to two. When I called the next week she had just been to the vet again and the breeder said come on up, so she came home at 9 weeks (she's 13 weeks now). She was unhappy the first 24 hours (including the first overnight) not sleeping, not liking the crate, not eating. But she was used to the crate by the 2nd day and after I force fed her some nutrical she started eating - turned out for some reason she didn't like the food the breeder gave me but seemed to LOVE the stuff I bought.

This is the first tiny dog I've had, every other dog I've had we got at 8 weeks.

Congrats on your new babies! And get ready for lots of work!
