| i got pebbles at 8 weeks... she was perfectly healthy and fine and adjusted well. she was an only child in the litter so I dont think she would have done better if she stayed with her parents... ususally 8-12 weeks is socialization time but she had no littermates to learn from really I did socialization myself by taking her to visit my friends dogs, etc. I got bam bam at 12 weeks and had a harder time with him becuase he was so little.. i definetly coudlnt have handled him at 8 weeks though |

| I got Kaylah at 7 1/2 weeks and had no problems with her. The breeder sent her home with IAMS food, which she didn't eat. I switched her to Eukanoba and she loved it. Other than that, everything was great! She learned very quickly in terms of using the pee pads and learning her name and new commands.

| Gracie was 11 weeks...she was a Christmas present for my daughter, so we got her a week early to be under the tree. Her sister and only sibling also went to a family on Christmas morning at 11 weeks. Otherwise, the breeder normally waited until 12 weeks. |

| Pebbles was almost 6 months and Doodlebug was 10 weeks. I do not think Pebbles was properly socialized or maybe she was taken from her liter mates too early. Doodles seems much better. Time will only telll.

| we got Avery at 8 weeks old. we are getting another baby girl this weekend..(PS-SO EXCITED ) but she is going to be 15(almost 16wks.) the breeder is great.. and since she is going to be so tiny she wanted to hold her till now.. (her littermates were able to leave at about 13 weeks) the breeder starts potty training(pee pads) from the start.. so i am thankful for that

| I had to go check the dates as well. lol I got Gabby at 6 weeks. I thought she was older until I got her home. She had a little trouble eating, but not for long. She was 2 lbs 3 ozs at her first vet visit right after I got her. She's 19 months now and weighs right around 5lbs. When I got Shadow on July 15th, he was 13 weeks and 4 days. The breeder told me he weighed 2 lbs. When I took him to the vet that week he was 3 lbs. 8 ozs. Even thought he was older, he became very attached the very first night at home. |

| Suzi was 9 weeks. I've had no problems with her and she's picking up potty training quicker that Katie did at 4.1/2 months. In England it's recommended over eight weeks not twelve. Hugs Shirl x x
