wow your gonna love me then lol i just got my new pup and she is 8 weeks this comin saturday the breeder was willin to let her go at 6 but i choose to pick her up at 7 weeks the first day home she barely eat so i was worried but after the first day she is gobbling her food down and is very well adjusted.
i live in england and if you try looking you wont find anyone waiting till 12 or even 15 weeks they all go around 8 weeks of age.
i know people would say why did you take her at such a young age but to be fair if i wouldnt of took her someone else would of.
heres a link to a local paper so you can check the ages of the dogs going at iam sure you wont find one going at 12 or 15 weeks.
if i was a breeder i too wouldnt let my pups go till i know 100% the are ready
