I talk to her daily, she also sends me pictures. I'm sure it would be even better if he stayed with mommy until 12 weeks, if all puppies did, that would be great, but it's just not always the case. They wanted him as independent as possible before he can come home. And with mommy there he wasnt eating wet food at all. But I appreciate your concern. The staff member that takes care of him said lately he's been trying to lick her toes, lol. I can't wait to meet him  |
In my opinion, the only reason they are doing that is for their benefit, not the pups. It is a well known fact that puppies need their mothers until they are older...so much to be learned! If he was not eating with mom, he was not ready! I urge you to do your reading on YT about the many pups that were purchased at such a young age and how many problems came up. Here is just one of the threads...this pup was purchased at a young age and now is not able to socialize with other pups...she has no clue she is a dog.
