I too agree with the majority. I know that with mine, turning 8 weeks Friday, that they are a long way from being ready to leave their mama. When I took them in for their 1st shots & worming, my vet's assistant was inquiring on how soon they would be available as she wanted one. When I replied not for another 8-10 weeks, they were both shocked. I said that though I had the kennel & play yard in my livingroom & lots of playtime with them running around the house & playing with my dgd, dh & myself, and they are eating dry food, that they are no where near old enough to leave. Heck, I'm still piddle pad training them
