It's best not to take the puppy till it's 12 to 14 weeks old, and even longer if it's on the very tiny size. I got Zada and Razael at 14 weeks and Azrael at 5 months. They had a wonderful start in life and leaned so very much from their mom and litter mates. (except Razael was the only child
) Just buy a photo album, start taking pictures of your baby with his litter mates and his mom, and dad if he is also in that home.
