Even though the puppy is usually weaned at that time, they are soooo tiny, the risk of hypoglycemia (and often death) are HUGE. If you could at least wait another two weeks, you would be bringing home a much healthier, stable and better socialized puppy.

Just something to consider, but you really should research all you can about small breed puppies and how scary they can be at such a young age.
I know this. And my husband and i are going to be talking to our friend to see if she can stay with mama a little longer. I've done ALOT of reading.
I think she should stay with mama a bit longer also.
