I think it depends on each puppy individually. My said the two big males in Cozy's litter could go to new homes at 8 weeks. Smaller male at 10 weeks. I am keeping the females myself. The smallest puppy is 2 pounds 3 oz. at 6 weeks and I'm keeping her. The largest puppy is 3 pounds presently. The three males are going to homes were people are home almost 24/7 so they will be watched closely. Plus they will still be close by so they can visit and come back if they pups are not adapting well. They are all eating like little pigs.
I got my golden when he was 6 weeks. He was part of a large litter and a good eater and very healthy. But others in his litter were held my the breeder for longer. |
