Puppy Age

In most cases we do not let our puppies leave our care until they are at least 8 weeks old. The purpose of keeping the litter with the mother is for nutrition, early learning to find food, pecking order establishment, determine who is alpha, peer play and body language, scent differentiation etc. The mother and peers are in a group learning environment, even touching and companionship play a major role. Typically the mother dog will ween the pups off and make them forage for food on their own. That is the point where the pups can be removed to a new home. Also, in most cases, vaccinations should not begin until 8 weeks of age.
