Alot of people think if the pups are no longer nursing and eating on their own that it's ok to let them go. But they should still be able to interact with the mother to learn the skills that Claudia mentioned below. 8 to 12 week old pups really learn alot in those few weeks. It's so easy to pick out the pup that left too early. They are so much more well adjusted when left with mom a few more weeks. Pam

It is a good idea to wait until they are 8 weeks, but if the Vet gives that baby puppy a good bill of health, then there should be no reason for you not to take the puppy home at 6 weeks.
