I start to wean my pups when I know my mama wants to not help care for her babies anymore.. I never have a set age to start weaning them, as each litter is different.. My Flirt's girls are 7 weeks old and they have just been completely weaned since Saturday.. I usually start by seperating the mama from the babies for the day and usually mama will want back in with the babies at night.. I do that for about 3-4 fours days then I completely take mama away from them.. I do not start vaccinations until my pups are completely weaned for a couple of weeks, if you vaccinate your pups and let them nurse the vaccination is no good..
