I'm keeping all of the pups until 12 weeks... Minimum!!! In fact one will be 13 weeks when she goes home... and another 14 1/2 and Cali will be 6 months old! lol And I still have one female for sale.. so who knows when she'll be going home??? I'm not advertising her.. I hate all the calls!!! ugh!!!
I say yes, they should be 12 weeks... Socialization is my main reason.. but on top of that they at least have their two rounds of Vac's and their first Kennel Cough Vac. And their big enough to have been microchipped. And they can start Heartworm Prevention!!
I don't trust a new mommy not to make a stop on the way home... or to take puppy on "just a short little walk" Without their shots their just not protected!!! And i won't send them out of here all vulnerable like that!! If I can keep them till their third shot is given, all the better!! At least I know its done!!!
But thats just me!!!
