Also, AKC mandates that puppies are not released from their mothers before 12 weeks... I don't know if your puppy is going to be AKC registered or not.
But it's your puppy so it's your call. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of your little one! |
Thanks! I will speak with the breeder and see if she can keep him with his mother a bit longer. Rocky only had one littermate (a brother). I'm not sure when his brother is scheduled to go to his new home. I will check into that too.
Also, what is AKC registered. This is our first pet so I'm not sure what this means.
