I hold all my pups till at least 12 weeks, no matter the size, except smaller ones I do keep longer. I prefer to see how the pups are developing and what they are looking like, as well as getting them that extra booster, and having them be socialized more with their mom and siblings. They are terriers. Also less stress for them and I never have to worry about one of my pups getting hypolgycemia at their new owner's home. I just would rather be safe than sorry for the pup and the new owner. All around it just makes more sense to hold on to them for min. of 12 weeks.
