Wow, getting the puppy at 6 weeks is a really young pup. Puppies learn socialzation from 5-8 weeks. A good breeder will keep them until they're 12 weeks old. My Brandy was a rescue who I got when she was 5 weeks old. She has major attitude and she does not like playing with other dogs. Is there anyway you can talk the lady into keeping her longer so you will have a better socialized and more healthy puppy?
There are weight charts you can check for the weight. Just make sure you read everything about breeding and know to seperate them while she is young if he is sexually mature (some start young, my pug was 5 months when he started.) He could end up hurting her. Congratulations on your new puppy.
