How big is your new puppy ? It will make a difference if he he under 3lbs when you bring him home . The smaller they are the harder it is when they become stressed out or a big change occurs.
Keep your baby on the same food the breeder has him on. Free feed him. Have Nutrical on hand incase he won't eat, or has not for a while .This will keep his blood sugar levels up while he is adjusting.
Remeber that a very young, puppy is comparable to a infant. Your going to need to be there for him. AND give him much love, attention. He is going to be frightend, and lonely when you first bring him home.
Until he bonds with you, he will be confused , and distressed. I don't know what kind of temperament he has, so i do not know how he will do.
Just make sure your there all the time for him, so he knows he can trust you.
It is better to go shopping before bring him home too. Have all the supplies ready when you take him home.
Your doing the right thing by waiting until you get back home. 9 weeks is much better then 6 1/2 .
