Seven weeks was the age, in the famous Scott-Fuller study, to adopt a puppy. Don't rag on someone who is having a problem. It doesn't have much to do with the adopted age. I agree with the person mentioning using a fine mist to stop the barking. Our guide do school uses some smooth coated collies and barking can be a problem with them. Misting
is the common method of dealing with the problem.

After reading Cheryl's post, and considering the plight of Yvonne's
puppies, I am distressed at the ages folks are willing to send out/bring
home puppies. I do mostly rescue of older dogs, so am out of this loop
- has the greed for the fast $$ really come down to this? Maybe I am out
of line? I can only imagine the ending maladjustment of a puppy taken
from the bonding and teaching of its mom at 5, or even -5 weeks old! Not
wanting to start a war - just promoting seller/buyer
awareness/responsibility...
