what would the difference be between separating siblings at 15 weeks, and separating them at 12 weeks (which is when breeders let them go)? wouldn't they cry for their siblings in either situation? and then adjust eventually?
good luck in your decision, please follow your instincts and your heart. i believe that the information on here is so valuable, but i also know at the end of the day the decisions I make (even though they are much more informed!) are still mine alone to make.
just in terms of your feeling bad about separating these guys, I am about to get a puppy from a breeder and I know I am separating him or her from the sibling group and their momma, but I also know that in the long run thats okay to do.
