| How old before they leave the litter? I was just wondering what you think is the optimal age a furbaby should be before he leaves his littermates and comes to his forever home? How old was your puppy when you got him/her? |

| I think most breeders wait until the puppies are at least 11-12 weeks old, some maybe a little longer... |

My furkids Donating Member | I agree with the above poster. Most breeders will say 12 weeks. I got Sadie at 6 weeks (wayyyyy to young!) and Lillie at 8 weeks. Sadie was not a good eater and still isn't to this day...Lillie on the other hand eats like a little piggy! And Sadie was bigger at 6 weeks than Lillie at 8 weeks.
