Younger then 8 weeks is illegal in many states and not good for the pups well being. A reputable breeder often keeps tiny pups until 12 weeks old and a show prospect until 4-5 mos. They learn manners from sibs and Mom.

Those with pups younger than 3 months, did you adopted them? I've heard pups need their Moms and siblings to learn some socialization, which they may not otherwise learn if taken away so young. I understand 3 months is a good age to adopt a pup. \ \ /\ Alice ( ) [email protected] .( ). Sent from my iPad mini
