Thank you to the kind people, I was told by my breeder that no earler than 10 weeks, so I will keep that. Thank you again.

Mommy does not feed them maybe once a day they are doing good at eating their soft food. I will miss them.

I know how you feel. They'll wrap you around their paw so quickly. When I first started out, it was the same way. You just love them to death and then they go. While they need to be socialized and loved, they do not need to be treated as if they were your own. It makes it harder, not only for you, but the pup also, when it's time to go to their new home. It really comes down to a balancing act for us. I think we've finally figured it out though. Our puppies are loved and very happy and socialized but not so bonded to us that they have separation anxiety when they go to their new home. We do this by limiting the time we have them out and play with them every day. A couple of hours every day for playing out with us and grooming seems to be about right. We don't limit how much we love them, just the amount of tome we spend with them. I hope this makes sense. Like I said, it's all about striking a balance. Congratulations on your babies and best of luck with them.

:I can not amagine give up my puppies at 6weeks, hello

KrissieBella · 07-29-2008, 07:45 PM

Bless your heart. When I took Krissie from her breeder, I thought that she was going to burst into tears. She kept kissing her on the head while I was carrying her to the car. Krissie was 12 weeks old. I do understand that it is hard after bonding. Good luck to you.

Peace and Love,

DH and I bred our Siberian Husky and had one litter of puppies. I have to admit that I lay on the floor and sobbed after each one left. We spent hours each day with those puppies and have the best memories of them. They were born around Christmas and we bought an ornament with a puppy and the year on it to remind us of them. Eleven years later, I STILL cry when I hang it on our tree. I totally relate to how you feel. That was McKinley's only litter of puppies and they will always be so special to us.

I can hardly see to type this for my tears, our sweet McKinley died in June. We had 13 great years with her and we miss her so much

Enjoy every minute with those puppies, you'll never forget them!!

What do you name someone who let a 6 weeks old puppy go : $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ grabber .

tammy8833 · 07-30-2008, 04:34 PM

i can definitely see keeping them till 10-14 weeks their personalities are more developed and their coats are breaking sometimes..but i dont keep mine that long..i would really really have a hard time homing them then

my experience and things that i have read have been that the females are really not interested in the puppies passed age 6 weeks, weaned. what i have read several times is that they are actually seen as other dogs at that point, competing for food and what not..(dont know if i believe that part) but i do believe they arent looked at as that dogs babies..usually (not saying that some arent different and they keep that motherly instink)

i let mine go at 8 weeks...but they have at least one vaccine, and have been dewormed 4 times and have had a health exam..but if they are tiny or something doesnt seem right to me they do not leave until i say they can

i also have mine sold very early on and the new owners are screened and chatted with on a regular basis, several times a week..phone calls, emails and visits (after the first vaccine has been adminstered) and so forth

i have an application process..i did receive most of my inquires from puppyfind.com..but some were from other sites and some had been waiting on a waiting list

im actually starting a small side business in puppy marketing..NOT BROKERS..i just want to do the advertising and pics for people, contracts, screening, websites and so on

i only have 1 litter a year sometimes less

good luck pm me with any questions

Baby Phat · 11-03-2008, 11:52 AM

Please. Do not sell your puppies at 6 weeks. They are still being weaned at that time and have not gotten all of the nourishments from the mother. I am feeling pretty good so I'll keep my negative comments about the person that posted that immature comment to myself. If you care about the welfare and health of those babies keep them for at least 10 weeks.

I think you better zip that mouth. It's very plain to see you know nothing about the needs of a puppy and how much they need to learn from their moms.

Brodi mom · 11-03-2008, 01:29 PM

Im so sorry for your loss and know how you feel... I have been there and it is so heard...

cesar49 · 11-03-2008, 05:06 PM

it is so much easier when you find the perfect new homes...you are doing what is best for the puppies.. selling them in pairs is the BEST because you know they have each other.. i wish they could only go in pairs....or at least to a home with another dog close to the same age and size..

scrapindee · 11-03-2008, 08:21 PM

My puppies do not leave until they are 12 weeks old. My puppies are well socialized, immunized and go to the best homes. At Six weeks they are first starting their immunizations. It is okay to sell them at six weeks, I guess, but they don't leave to go to their new homes until they are at least 12 weeks old.
