Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Very interesting thread. I don't place puppies before they are 12 weeks old. The period between 7-12 weeks may be for bonding but it is also for socialization skills and my puppies are the Best socialized puppies one will ever come into contact with. Yes the economy is down; yes there are more breeders out there; but quality is still quality. It may take a little longer to find homes but they are there. |

| Just curious about not letting puppies go until 12 weeks. If you have another dog in your home can a younger pup get the necessary socialization from them or only from their parents and litter pups? Just wondering and trying to learn all I can.

if you have a one year old at home, they would do well.. age of the puppies when adopted is about the health and weight at that age.., are they properly weaned? each case is different.. a puppy wants to chew bite and play.. can the other dog handle it?

| Alright, Alright, I'm sure you guys are sick of having all these pups hanging around that aren't sold so I'll do you all a big favor and let you send them to me. LOL. Not trying to make light of the economy but I couldn't help posting. I hope you guys find great homes for your pups. Elaine |

Ideally, the new owner can spend time with the puppy before bringing it home so that the puppy is familiar with him/her. Spending time w/ a pup when they are very young is not going to be sufficient as the pup will not be at a stage developmentally that the interaction will have a huge impact on them, whereas it would if they were exposed to their new human owners later on (say, 8 week range and later). (Not sure I explained that like I meant to--I'm at a loss for how to word it...) BTW, there is a sticky at the top of this section that briefly describes the developmental stages of a puppy and is broken down by age that may give you more info. | |

I agree. Education. I've been breeding for 30+ years and know my lines and what they can produce. | |

8 week visits would be great.. ideally a transition period would be great.. if they lived close .. new owners...they could take puppy for play dates between 8-10 weeks to separate from the pack

Don't you wish ALL cases could be that easy on you. They were actually the first two pups from my own breedings(s) that I ever placed. It made the good-bye much easier on me, being they were the first kids I let go of. Now the good-byes since...I plead the 5th... | |
