It truly is best with this small breed that they stay with their Mom's until at least 12 wks old and about 3lbs, before they go home.

Once again welcome and happy reading, and dreaming about your new pup
As I read through this forum I see that waiting until 12 weeks is the norm. I wasn't aware of it before now because other dog breeds we have experienced around 8 wks was old enough. I will speak with her about this concern. Thanks for letting me know.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! I look so forward to being a part of this forum
