So many threads fly off course and members scare the new ones away -- and ones with 8 week old pups are the ones that need to stick around! |
Sarah,
You are absolutely right. YT has been an absolute haven for me with Rocco. I also believed the breeder that he was fine to go home at 8 weeks (he was a very healthy 2.8 lbs and very well cared for in her home). I did research on YT before I got him, but somehow missed the age thing. HOWEVER, thanks to support and great advice on YT, he continues to be a healthy, content (4.9lb!) 4-month-old that has mostly stopped his inappropriate biting, and can obey commands of sit, give paw, lay down, kiss, roll over, stay and come!! KKubas, your little one will be just fine...be sure to check back on here daily for all kinds of knowledge
