It sounds like you are trying to be prepared.

I would not recommend that you give the pups away. I would think that a $50 or $100 adoption fee would be fine. Perhaps others on here could advise you better on that.

Most people on here would recommend keeping the pups until they are 12 weeks old but that is not always possible. I recommend that you keep them until they are at least 9 or 10 weeks old and fully weaned. Some states don't allow pups to be sold before they are 8 weeks.

As for letting the male around them, I can't when it would be okay because I don't know your male's personality. I know that I do not allow any males around my pups until they are at least 12 weeks old or older. It really depends on how your male reacts to them. Most males don't tolerate young pups that well and I have even heard of some males attacking and killing young pups.
