I firmly believe in letting the dam lead the weaning process. Most of my puppies are still nursing at 10 weeks. They learn so much from their mom in those last weeks that they are with her. I've never understood why babies are automatically pulled from their mom at 6 weeks or whatever. They are getting the best nourishment possible from her. Resulting in a much healthier puppy.
