I would take an extra week or two to setup the house then pick it up at 8 weeks, this is still super young but your going to have a ton of stains anyways why rush it. The first 6 months is very messy. You should take your time and also make sure you have everything bowls collars leashes barriers to keep the dog in the dog room, make sure your fence is intact, the usual stuff. Also i wouldn't let anybody pick up my dog but me, so she doesn't get dropped.
