I've begun not letting my pups go home until at the very minimum 16 weeks. That way they've gone home with their full compliment of shots, bile acid tested, piddle pad trained and eating very well on their own. I want the transition to go as smoothly as possible for the pup and the new family. |
Thanks for clearing that up.
I think it's a great idea to hold the pups until 16 weeks. As hard as it was to wait for Lulu to come home, I appreciated it when she came home & transitioned easily with very little stress. So, I definitely see where you are coming from there.
