Absolutely not. Not until after their first innoculations between 8 and 9 weeks of age. You never know what strangers will track into your home and exposing heaven knows what to those puppies.

The first four weeks they should be kept only with mother, that is all they need. In a quiet area of the house away from normal traffic and drafts. With only you intervening for assisting in potting and wieghing. The next four weeks they only need mother and each other....
