The tend to get their teeth earlier and wean earlier than the small breeds. My babies are not even totally weaned at eight weeks and I wouldn't even consider letting them go then. It is so important that the little guys be well socialized so they know their place in the pack, or they can get into so..o.o much trouble out there in the world.
Besides all that, we just get to enjoy the fruits of our labors for the extra weeks before we let them go.

I've had some vets that I thought, how the heck doesn't he know. Or jeez I could of told myself that. A few times he's gotten out a BOOK to look through and figure out what was going on
Sometimes they are good and sometimes they just lack education in certain areas.
