I start pad training as soon as my babies can climb out of the wehelping box by putting a pad right in front of the box usually my bitch pees on it and the puppies learn by watching her. if you take this puppy this early you NEED to feed him every 4 hours and make sure he pees and poop, toy breeds are VERY different that the big dogs.
best of luck with your training.

Yes agreed!
I had a momma pass away when she had a litter. I kept the pups for over 12 weeks with their litter mates. No way I would have let them go before 12 weeks even more so with mom passing away.
