Not sure I would recommend others to do it because it is quite an undertaking to take care of such a young puppy and make sure they are eating, sleeping etc but for me I can't imagine not having those weeks before 12 weeks either. She has bonded so well with our whole family and I'm curious if that has anything to do with getting her so young. |
A lot of health issues don't pop up until 2 years old and there are people who do get lucky but supporting bad breeders is really not the best thing. There are rescue dogs who are several years old who bond massively with there new owners so age is not what makes a dog bond better or not.
