We happened to get Harry at 12 weeks - but's that's just how it was....happened EVERY other dog I've had (Boxers, Labs, Westies, miniature Schnauzers etc etc) have ALL been 8 weeks old. One of Harry's littermates (the little girl) went to her new home at 8 weeks. She is gorgeous and well-adjusted and trouble-free.

If I were you, I'd go along anyway, and explain the situation, and your doubts and worries. That you've read so much and learnt so much - bite inhibition, fear of blood sugar dropping in a Littlie etc....assess the whole situation, and the set-up, and the responses you get - and THEN make your decision.

Hard, isn't it? But I wish you luck - and hope tomorrow goes really well for you Sally + Harry x

Sally, why do breeders there let go of the pups so soon, especially with the small dogs? What is their thinking or reasoning?
