A lot of members with younger ones come here for help with biting issues. Mom's teach dog etiquette and litter mates do too, one of which is bite inhibition. Your baby will miss out on some good learning if she comes to you too soon. |

9 weeks is too early for a pup to leave momma... |
I was also going to suggest this!
We brought Wrigley home at 12 1/2 weeks and also avoided the problems that you see over and over on YT from people who brought their puppies home too early!
A good, reputable breeder should NOT have a problem doing this, since they should know the advantages of the puppy having this time with litter mates and Mom!
