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  www.loot.com |
Several years ago 6 wks was the age to let them go then we went to 8wks now the age limit is 12wks or whenever someone feels it is ok to let go.
but most moms are still weaning at 5 to 6 wks, i have a small male singleton 6wks and mom is done with him so now i will care for him until
i feel that he would be safe in a good home with someone that would take
the time that is needed to care for him. good luck with your precious baby
