I've gotten two dogs at 8 weeks and one at 12 weeks (our fourth is a rescue and was an adult when she came home).
My 8 weekers were almost unbearable nippers in the beginning. It took a while to teach them not to nip.
My 12 weeker- no nipping.
One 8 weeker and my 12 weeker had a hard time potty-training. My other 8 weeker came to us potty-trained and hasn't had an accident since.
None of my dogs have had a hypoglycemia event, which must have been a stroke of luck because we knew nothing when we brought our first girl home.
The breeder I got my last puppy from holds them until 16 weeks. |
