They should do fine at eight weeks, some do prefer they stay up to twelve weeks. In order for you to make sure that your new pup has every chance for the best start in life you will want to be sure that they have gotten a clean bill of heath from the vet, they have been dewormed, have had a least one series of shots and are eating and drinking on their own before leaving the breeders home. Plus at any young age hypoglycemic shot in toy breeds can be an issue so be sure that you read up on it and be prepared just in case. Your pup will need plenty of rest for the first two to three weeks during the transition period to get adjusted to their new home.
I recently found a wonderful book by Dr. Scott Miller on raising puppies. Called Puppy Parenting . . I recommend anyone planning on bringing home a new puppy get this book.
