Hi and welcome to YT. Congratulations on getting a new baby, but you will see from looking over this site a little, that the recommended age to pick up a puppy would be 12 weeks - and not 8. There still is a lot of learning the puppy does from remaining with its mother and littermates till age 12 weeks. Although the legal age (I believe) is 8 weeks, it certainly is too soon. You will be better off, with a much happier puppy if you wait to pick him up at 12 weeks.
Good luck to you and to your new puppy. |
