Eight weeks is definately too young for a pup to leave their moms......they are just being weaned. Will barely be recieving their first innoculation.
Between 8 & 12 weeks of age, pups are learning so much from their mothers.....
The earliest should be at 12 weeks of age....enough time for 2 shots, vet checks, pup is eating well on it's own....
You might visit YTCA.org and read the code of ethics and conduct.....great information there.
