Small dogs should be with there mothers until 12 weeks for socialization and learning many things from there moms. Reputable breeders know this and most breeders who cut the corners in some way do it in other ways. Also most of the time that means they have given there first shots before 8 weeks normally around 6 weeks and it's pretty much useless before 8 weeks which leads to over vaccination. A lot of non reputable breeders don't like to keep the pups until 12 weeks because it will cost more and cut into there profits. I notice she does say she does genetic testing but anyone can say that I would want a list of which tests and who did them. |
He's nearly nine weeks (Friday) and was vaccinated for the first time today. I chose to bring him home this week. He is also two pounds already. I am full time stay at home, he has been eating since five and a half weeks and I have plenty of time to devote to him daily. He is also already insured through Embrace, I will be getting my own genetic testing (even though he will be fixed) just for my own piece of mind.
I understand how strongly some of you feel about certain things, but I am fully prepared for bringing this pup home.
I'm off to bed now...we've got a long day tomorrow. Have a good night, everyone.
