It is illegal to let a pup go before 8 weeks in many states..it was that way in MD..not sure about Florida as yet. Pups no matter their size need to stay longer with the dam and litter..that is one reason so many have a difficult start, physically and emotionally. Juat my opionion, but I would not buy from a breeder who sold 6 week old pups...the pet owner can go through alot of worry and vet expense..I know several Canadian breeders and they do not place under 10 to 12 weeks, so I would say the thinking among reputable breeders is the same in both countries. .Best wishes.
