| Ugh So I was planning on getting bear in may after discussing keeping him with mom for twelve weeks. She agreed and said that is what she feels is best too. Today I get a call saying that her kids have several tournaments over the next few weeks so the puppies need to go to their new homes sooner. The pups are 8 weeks. I know she is a single mom, but what a lame excuse. Lucky for me, I already have an older female, an older male, and a puppy to teach him proper socialization, and he is the hardiest of the bunch, best eater and most energetic so hopefully I won't have to deal with hypoglycemia (nutrical on hand if needed though) I have all I need ready now, pulled it out, and got set up (already had it from teddy). However, feel bad for those unknowing owners getting a pup so early. Will post more pics tomorrow. |

| Before coming to this site I didn't know that it was best to let the pup stay with their mom until they are 12 weeks old. We got both Nena and Rufus when they were 8 weeks.

| Why did you decided to go with a byb? Did she at least do genetic testing?

| While it is always best to keep them with their mom as long as possible, I think it is still better that you go ahead and take Bear in early rather than have him staying at a house with people who aren't going to take care of him. At least you are well educated and do have other pups to help with him. I won't say my opinions on BYBs, as you are well versed on the dangers of doing that and you are the one that will deal with anything that comes from it. I will say that I pray Bear is healthy and happy for a very long time with you and Teddy in his new loving home

| She takes wonderful care, I saw him at 5 weeks and saw what she feeds them and how they interact with her other 5 dogs ( only 3 are breeder) (1male and 2 female). She did not test but the breeder she got her maltese from and her yorkies from did. Hers has no health issue. She breeds morkies and I love the mix so had to be byb. The only thing I do not like is that she lets the pups go early. Which I thought I solved from talking to her. My first pup is from her as well got him at 9 weeks (but didn't know any better always had large shelter adopted dogs before) |

| Good luck. At least you know what you are dealing with. I got Chloe at 9 weeks from a BYB. I didn't know any better. It was before I joined YT. I love her more than anything and wouldn't change it for the world now that I have her. However if I were to get another one day I will go to a breeder. I can't wait to see pics. I bet he is adorable and will have lots of fun learning from your other dogs.
