Have you asked the breeder to keep the pup until 12 weeks? You need to prepare yourself that if this breeder skip a step reputable breeders do that I'm sure they skipped other steps so genetic illnesses could pop up. I would look into getting a pet insurence that covers genetic issues right away. I would also prepare for social issues and bitting issues and really there is no way to guard against them and make them not happen other then leaving the pup with mom. You also need to prepare for hypoglycemia and have nutrical on hand for that. At this age the pup should eat every couple of hours and not be left alone for more then an hour or two. The pup will need to go to your vet within 48 hours or so for a vet check. If the pup was given any shots before 8 weeks they are useless. If there becomes issues of diarrhea and or vomiting waiting to long with a small pup can be dangerous because they can dehydrate quickly so make sure you have the number and address of a regular vet and emergency vet kept someone easy to get to. Also until two weeks after the pups last set of shots don't take them to areas where other dogs or wild life have been.
