Six weeks is too young.
They might not need Mom for food now, but they still need to learn some important things from interacting with her and their littermates.
Just as an example, all that play fighting and biting and the squeals when a sibling nips too hard....lessons in bite inhibition. Very important!
I'd place 8 weeks with only the MOST responsible owners, otherwise 10 weeks, tiny pups 12 weeks. |
