The problem is no one knows exactly when the mom's immunities wear off on each puppy.
There was quite a discussion about when the immunities wear off on the K-9 cruise--the "experts" were in total disagreement.....which is why we hear everything from 6 weeks to 10 weeks for the first vaccinations.
To answer the original question, no one comes to visit the puppies until after the first vaccinations--and weights and health and how long the dam is nursing all need to be addressed. I do the pictures for anyone seriously interested. I do not begin shots until the vet advises to begin them. And no one leaves until the 12th week...
