This topic has been on debate on so many other threads, too too many to mention and people/new members have left this group do to things getting out of hand. This is not what I want, I will not be getting into a debate with anyone. I will not reply to anyone who insist on taking my discission and making in into something that it is not. I am open to any ones opinion and will gladly read any informational links that are given. But I have made my decision and unless we run into health issues during their next vet visit I am keeping with my decision. I thank you for your concern.

Just to clarify: Ruby is not the one who is taking care of the pups, I am. She no longer cleans there butts, I do. They have been weened for more than two weeks now. Ruby has no interest in them other than to eat their food while they try to dry nurse. I am the one who follows them around cleaning up pee and poo. Im the one that corrects them when they get out of hand biting and growling, not Ruby, she runs from them. I have started the training process, teaching them to sit and fetch and play nice and no bite, not Ruby, but me. So none of you can tell me that they need their mother until 12 weeks of age when she has had no interest in them. I am doing everything for them. I feed them, cleaned them, keep them in a clean safe place, I discipline them and correct them all in order to prepare them to their new lives away form their mother and litter mates and I will continue to do so until the very last moment when I hand them over to their new families.

That is what a good, caring breeder who cares about and loves her puppies does. I am doing everything possible to prepare them to leave my home as a single pup who is no longer part of our family or a litter or who has a mother. Its going to happen regardless if it happens at 8 wks or 12 wks or somewhere in between. Its going to happen and its going to be hard on them as much as it will be on me and my family to see them go. But I am doing everything that I can to get them to the point of being an independent, happy self soothing pup. That is why I do things my way.
