I hold all my pups until 12 weeks of age and 2 pounds and if they don't reach 2 pounds by that age, they are held longer.
Ditto on that, then again I breed silkie terriers they are 8 onz at 4 weeks.. I would NEVER sell a dog that small, let alone let one so tiny go at all.. that is why the runt of my Yorkie Jacks is still here with me.. Well all I can say is Best of luck with your baby..
