Let me remind you again that he shouldn't get his first round of vaccinations before 9 weeks old. If given too early, vaccines don't work because the antibodies he got from nursing kill them.
This puppy will be at a very high risk of getting deadly puppy diseases like parvo. Since parvo can live on surfaces for months and can be carried in on shoes, a pet sitter can easily bring it into your house.

But again, I doubt you will actually be getting this puppy at six weeks since it is illegal to sell and transport a puppy by air before eight weeks old. Has this breeder tried to find a vet yet who will falsify the health certificate?
