he is a lot biger than Ceeby was when I got him. he was eight weeks and nine ounces. Dixie was nine weeks and 1.2 lbs. They both were fine. I think it depends on the dog. I know a lot of people keep them till twelve weeks and frown on those that let them go sooner and even on those of us that picked them up sooner. But, it really does depend on the dog. Ceeby was more than ready. The breeder had two liters all in the x-pen together. They had been weaned for quite some time and she had them almost potty trained. he was well socialized. dixie was half of a two puppie litter. her sister had been sold the week before so it was just her and her mother. Her breeder had not even started to potty train but apparently she was played with a lot. She was very well socialized at nine weeks and never seemed to miss her mother at all. |
