This is a critical time for these babies. Not only are they learning sooo much from momma, they should be getting vaccinations from either the vet or the breeder....these babies are very fragile emotionally and physically during this time, with so much going on in their little lives.....weaning, adjusting to changing lfe stages, vaccinations, etc.....there is already a tragic post from someone above, that got their 9 week old baby, had it 4 days and it died. DO NOT LET THESE BREEDERS PUSH THESE BABIES OUT BEFORE 12 WEEKS OF AGE. these babies need as much positive in their corner as we can possibly give them....
