That's just going to have to remain a difference of opinion, I'm afraid, as most here, including the parent breed club see otherwise and believe that vital socialization skills are learned while with mom and littermates during the 8-12 week range. As far as it being normal for them to leave at 6 weeks, that's not even legal here in many states. Are

our parent club, vets and authorities know nothing? Should we all really get into a debate over who's country is more advanced in the areas of proper pet care, treatment and socialization? Silly, isn't it?
