youngest i cant let my munchkin go...
 

hi all i was wondering when it would be oki to give one of the pups to its owner...the father of the puppies wants to take hers in a week or two...by then they will be 6 weeks they were born on august 18 early in the morning...do i let her take it or not?...shes very pushy with it...she cant wait to take her mom she is so in love with her...she came by yday nd the day b4 she hates being away from her but i think that may be tooooo young to seperate her from her brother and sister?????

I would tell her no she can have the pup at twelve weeks and I wouldnt care how pushy she is

I agree :thumbup:

THe pups well-being and health should be a priority. Ask her to do a search online and see why the pup should stay a little bit longer.

If she is pushy and or nasty about the situation...........simply ask her to abide by the rules or give her money back and look for another great home for the pup ;)

If this Lady realy cares , then she will let the pup stay with her Mommy. Tell her NO !!!

Forgot to mention that it is illegal in your state to let the pup go under 8 weeks...............maybe you can use that to tell the new owner as well. Good luck!

You could tell her it is important for the puppies socialization for it to stay with the littermates and mom untill 12 weeks

Even though it is "her" pup, it is up to you to ensure its care as you have been since it was born. It should not go before 8 weeks regardless of any circumstances (she may have a right to it at that time). You sure as heck didn't have her take it once it was born because it was "her" pup. I do understand her eagerness though....they are irresistable!

Most definitely ;)

I'm sorry you have to go through this but i agree with the above and giving her money back if she can't wait you'll find someone else who will be more patient.

she needs her mommy. do whats best 4 the pup.

she uses the "ther mom doesnt take care of them nd i have a dog.shel b fine" but she (pup) loves playin wit her brother and sister..i will use the legal thing today when i see her thank you all il let u noe wat hapens kisses

Not to be ugly, but if the bitch is YOUR dog, then YOU have complete control over when the pups leave. I wouldn't give a flying flip what this person wants or how pushy she is. As the breeder, it is your responsibility to see that the pups are healthy and well-adjusted. Do you have a contract? If so, is there a "delivery date" to hand over the pup to the new owner?

Sorry if I came on strong. It is such a good thing that you are here and asking questions. That's how you learn. Keep up the good work!

6 weeks is waaaaay too young! Plus, it's illegal!:mad: But I wouldn't see the harm in letting her visit the little one where you are....I know that there are times with a litter running around when someone to play with them while I could do a few things around the house was a GODSEND! But yes, way to young at 6 weeks.

you need to tell her that you have a policy that they don't go until twelve weeks, ten at the very earliest if they are doing well. next litter you have, make this very clear in the beginning.

6 weeks old is way much too young to let a puppy go to a new homes . When I have a potential new owner harrassing me to have a pup that I think he or she is too young , I simply give back the reservation money and tell the person to never come back for another puppy . Maybe it may seem rude but my puppy are extremely important for me and I will never put their lives in jeopardy .

Please don't say that.:(

My last memory is that you have very small pups. No way before at least 10 weeks old. They may be eating and doing fine right now, but place a pup in a stressful situation like being taken away from its littermates and they can go down really fast. Her impatience tells me she doesn't have the puppies best interests in mind. The owner of the mother in my opinion has control over this.

I have a litter right now and my daughter is taking one and lives on the next block. She can bring the puppy back at the first sign of a problem, but even she is not getting her pup until at least 10 weeks!

actually i am planning on having another litter thank you very much and 3 vets approved

i dont plan on letting them go i was just curious as to how old the youngest youngest is i plan on keeping them together until 12 weeks at least they all love each other so much its unbelievable i feel they need each other most bc they dont have ther mommy and need to have eachother ther pups are eating soft puppy food smashed up even more than the can with puppy milk they love it ate an entire bowl how many times should i feed them now???

oh and the pups are now weighing in at 1 lb 1 3/8 oz the other female at 15 7/8 oz and the male at 15 1/8 oz at one month

A very scary thought indeed.:rolleyes:

I would make her wait if not have her sign a waiver releasing you of anything that may go wrong let her take the risk
.

Why on earth would you even consider breeding a tiny dog whose temperment is so bad that she was a danger to the pups, bit you in the face and had to be put on valium? and you are saying that 3 vets approved this???? I simply cannot fathom the idea.


I am so done with this poster......I hope you've enjoyed playing with the people on here that have gone out of their way to be nice to you and offer you help.

I would leave dry food and water out at all times and feed moistened meals 4 times a day.

Three vets? Is there a reason that you have had her to three vets?

Other than the fact that the male she was bred to was 2X the size of the already small female that was so agressive that she had to be muzzled and put on valuim? Which resulting in having to feed the pups, one of which died because it was dropped while being fed? Or because she had to have an unplanned C-section performed? Or because the prego female was treated with flea med? Or maybe to help her figure out the due date which she couldn't figure out even though, she knew when the female was in heat, knew of 2 times that a tie occurred, but was planning on having her fixed before hand when, oops, she turned up carrying...surprise!

Honestly...I can't believe you would REALLY be shocked that I or anyone else here would DARE to voice concern over your flaunting an intent to repeat this again! This situation has not been "ideal" and you should consider yourself lucky that things didn't end up worse than they did.
I realize maybe this isn't any of my business, and I could always ignore this and as you've shown, you're going to do what you want regardless to what advice you get here, but for pete's sake, if you don't want to hear public opinion, don't bring these things to light.

I am sorry but this thread really upsets me!!!

Why on earth would you breed her again?? Surely it has to be for money otherwise you would not go through it all again. Correct me if I am wrong but I see no good reason to breed this dog again. I am not trying to attack you, I just can't see any good reason to breed her again, so please tell me why you are going to do it again or give me a good reason to do it again...

Just the fact that she is aggressive, had to have a c-section and was bred to a dog way bigger then her is enough reason not to breed her again. You are only endangering yourself, the mother and the pups by doing this.:(

Why???????????? What did I say wrong?????????

i know where you are coming from now but why did you post to me like I said something wrong? it is the same advice I would give to anyone. i don't see that I said anything wrong.

There is nothing wrong with what you said (from the posts that I've seen from you, you always give good advice in a very nice and polite way). :) I don't think Misty meant it in the sense that YOU said or did anything wrong. I think it was more in the sense of "Oh god please don't let this girl ever breed her dog again" because of all the complications involved.

Check out posts # 23, 26 and 27 and you'll see why breeding this girl again is NOT a smart idea. I think that is what Misty was referring to. :)
