You should wait 12 weeks before bringing your new baby home. 7 weeks is just to young this babies are just barely weened at 8 weeks. The socialization period begins at 8 weeks. At 9 wee4ks they are most imprestionable anything done at this times remains for life of the dog. I always make sure my puppies have had to shots before leaving my home as they can have am allergic reaction on the second shot. I want to be the one to experience this if it happens as I know what to do for them. I also hold my tiny ones longer. I will not let them go until they are a least 2 lbs. sometimes that can take up to 6 months. These little ones are so fragile a lot can go wrong if you have never experienced some of the illinesses in them. This is my opinion. But I take the over cautious side with my pups.
