Best age to adopt/rehome puppy? Hi there! In South Africa puppies are usually given up for adoption at 8 weeks. My first two Yorkies were 8 weeks old - the breeder wouldn't wait any longer because they saw nothing wrong with it. I've always believed that puppies should be rehomed at 12 weeks. Am I wrong here? |
hi Marlize! So nice to see a fellow South African on here.. I got Ziggy at 8 weeks too. I think most breeders seem fine with it. But, when i'm ready to get Ziggy a baby brother, i intend on finding a breeder who keeps them till 12. i think its important. PLus Ziggy is small so that time would have benefited him alot i think. But i guess its up to us to find this (which is very hard) but i think its doable. I've seen alot of them these days say they release the pups "between 8 and 12 weeks".. thats progress i guess.. |
