Would it be at all possible for you to keep those pups until they are at least 10 weeks old?...They could be St Patty's Day babies and much better socialized and ready to go than at 6 weeks.

it might be worth reading this since this is your first litter its important to understand puppies developmental stages puppies

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, especially for dogs. The fact is, well-socialized dogs are more likely to have well-socialized puppies. Pups often mirror their mothers' calm or fearful attitude toward people; this is a normal part of their socialization. But you can play a vital role, too, by petting, talking, and playing with puppy to help him develop good "people skills."

Puppies are usually weaned at six to seven weeks, but are still learning important skills as their mother gradually leaves them for longer periods of time. Ideally, puppies should stay with their littermates (or other "role-model" dogs) for at least 12 weeks.

Puppies separated from their littermates too early often fail to develop appropriate "social skills," such as learning how to send and receive signals, what an "inhibited bite" (acceptable mouthing pressure) means, how far to go in play-wrestling, and so forth. Play is important for puppies because it increases their physical coordination, social skills, and learning limits. By interacting with their mother and littermates, puppies explore the ranking process ("who's in charge") and also learn "how to be a dog."

Skills not acquired during the first eight weeks may be lost forever. While these stages are important and fairly consistent, a dog's mind remains receptive to new experiences and lessons well beyond puppyhood. Most dogs are still puppies, in mind and body, through the first two years of life.

Here are general guidelines for puppies' stages of development

Birth to 2 weeks: Neonatal Period
Puppy is most influenced by his mother.
Senses of touch and taste are present at birth.

2 to 4 weeks: Transitional Period
Puppy is most influenced by his mother and littermates.
Eyes open, teeth begin to come in, and senses of hearing and smell develop.
Puppy begins to stand, walk a little, wag tail, and bark.
By the fourth or fifth week, eyesight is well-developed.

3 to 12 weeks: Socialization Period
During this period, puppy needs opportunities to meet other dogs and people.

3 to 5 weeks: puppy becomes aware of his surroundings, companions (both canine and human), and relationships, including play.

4 to 6 weeks: puppy is most influenced by littermates and is learning about being a dog.

4 to 12 weeks: puppy remains influenced by littermates and is also influenced by people. Puppy learns to play, develops social skills, learns the inhibited bite, explores social structure/ranking, and improves physical coordination.

5 to 7 weeks: puppy develops curiosity and explores new experiences. Puppy needs positive "people" experiences during this time.

7 to 9 weeks: puppy is refining his physical skills and coordination, and can begin to be housetrained. Puppy has full use of senses.

8 to 10 weeks: puppy experiences real fear involving normal objects and experiences; puppy needs positive training during this time.

9 to 12 weeks: puppy is refining reactions, developing social skills with littermates (appropriate interactions), and exploring the environment and objects. Puppy begins to focus on people; this is a good time to begin training.

3 to 6 Months: Ranking Period
Puppy is most influenced by "playmates," which may now include those of other species.

Puppy begins to see and use ranking (dominance and submission) within the household (the puppy's "pack"), including humans.

Puppy begins teething (and associated chewing).

4 months: puppy experiences another fear stage.

6 to 18 Months: Adolescence
Puppy is most influenced by human and dog "pack" members.

7 to 9 months: puppy goes through a second chewing phase, part of exploring territory.

Puppy increases exploration of dominance, including challenging humans.

If not spayed or neutered, puppy experiences beginnings of sexual behavior.

No amount of money will change my mind, I have decided to give one to my brother as well as my ex-husband (weird but he loves KoKo and Kandi), so I know that they will be loved and well taken care of.

Someone asked if I was giving them away. I have promised one to my ex-husband and my brother and the other one besides Murphy I will sell.

Murphy seems to be fine to me but the vet says he probably won't make it due to the fact that she thinks he looks unhealthy. She says that we won't be able to tell until he's 4 or five months old, but I think he is just teenie and will be like his Mommy who is only 3.2 pounds.
First . . . your post for sale is not in accordance with the specifications set forth by the rules of this forum.

Second . . . looking back over your posts, things sure have changed a number of times.

Third . . . if Murphy's vet said that she thinks he looks unhealthy and won't be able to tell until he's 4 or five months old, are you planning on selling this pup? It would seem the answer would be yes since you've advertised 4 pups and you only had a total of four pups.

I got Precious at 6wks. I don't have her around dogs very much but she seems well socialized with them. Well, she's a bossy thing and has any dog following her lead!

I didn't know 10 wks would be better though, although it is law out here that puppies must be at least 8wks to sell. OoOops! HAHA oh well, I'm glad I didn't have to wait another second! ;-)

I too sold my first litter to soon. I regret it. They all turned out to be great pups. My female had her 2nd litter 8weeks ago, and I see now why it is so important to keep 10-12 weeks.You can only do right by them with keeping them longer.

discuss with your breeder? I thought you were the breeder

since your discussing things with the vet and breeder
They should be explain a few things about the responsibilities of a reputable breeder....first and foremost NEVER breed a 3.2lbs BITCH, spay her.

That being said prove yourself responsible by doing the best for your puppies.

keep pups with their mom until the age of 10-12 weeks

weaning is best done between 5-6 weeks

shots begin at 8 weeks - never before -

never vaccinate an unhealthy puppy "Murphy" until he is strong enough to handle them. Never put a known unhealthy pup UP FOR SALE, he is your responsibility not an unsuspecting adoptee.

the list could go on and on and on and on!
