I would check with the breeder first to see if it is possible to keep her for two more weeks. IF not, get some of her blankies or your old t-shirts and see if the breeder will rub some of the smells from her and the mama, pups, daddy and so on on them. Each pup is different, just like each child is different. They all mature at their own pace, that 's why no 2 are alike. My mother had a pup ready to go at 6 weeks, but we kept him until he was 8. Her next liter, they weren't ready to go until 8 weeks and one not until 10 weeks.
If she is a good and caring breeder, she will keep her for another 2 weeks so that she can mature a bit more and thrive into a healthy lil girl. Good Luck and I'll say a prayer for you and Maddie.
