I am holding one of my puppies for an additional month because the buyer is going to be gone for 2 weeks and I did not want her to get the puppy and then have to leave her for 2 weeks and then just when she settles in with the sitter, she is moved again.
It is too hard on them. the stress can trigger all sorts of problems. |
I didn't want to say what you did, but I agree with you. This breeder appears to be breeding for $$$$ and doesn't have the best interest of the pup. I'm seriously considering keeping my pups until 16 weeks of age before letting them go home.
The first 8 weeks of a pups life is completely spent with mom, that's all they need, a breeder's work though very busy, really begins when the pups turn 8 weeks of age.
