Hi and welcome to YT, your pup is beautiful without a doubt.. but please ask the breeder if she can stay with her mom until she is 12 weeks old.
I brought my pup home when she was 6 weeks old (was told she was older) and it's not easy.
She was so tiny and fragile it was like walking on egg shells with her, I was so nervous something would go wrong. She cried and cried all through the night for about a month because she was far too young to be away from her mom and was missing her and her brothers and sister. I was like a zombie I was so tired, I was falling asleep at work and everything!
Also biting has been a nightmare with her because she was taken so young, she had no chance to learn bite inhibition from her mom and litter mates. So I have to teach her it myself and it is NOT an easy task let me tell you!
I know she is very cute, and you are both so excited you feel you cant wait much longer to bring her home but PLEASE listen to what I am telling you. IT IS IN NO WAY FUN. It is VERY stressful and just not nice.
You will have to take time off work and be there for her 24/7 because she will depend on you!
Please wait until she is 12 weeks old and I promise you that you will have a much better experience with an older more well adjusted pup.
