When can I take my puppy home?

Puppies are normally ready to leave their mothers somewhere between 8 and 10 weeks of age. You should not take a puppy home that is less than 8 weeks old, and be very wary of any breeder that says otherwise. It is vital that pups are not separated from their mothers and littermates early as they learn vital skills from them. A pup that is separated early may have problems later in life.

Some breeders will allow you to meet the puppies before they are 8 weeks old, you can then choose one and pay a deposit and go back a few weeks later to collect your pup.

Make sure you have all the equipment and supplies you need before taking your puppy home.
