- yes wait till there 10 weeks
- never before 6 weeks but most breeders believe they should remain with the bitch until they are 8 weeks old. Also some states have laws against selling the puppies before they are 8 weeks old.
- Yes, it's too early. They need at least 8 weeks with the mother to learn vital skills from her.
- You should know this already. 8 weeks no sooner than that. And for the love of all that's sacred don't sell them to just any idiot with money.
- Yes, still too early. They should be a MINIMUM of 8 weeks old. 12 weeks is preferred.
- ,Yes. Wait until 8 Weeks.Puppies learn when with the litter skills they will need later on,how to get along with other dogs and how to play easy,what happens when they don't.Eating is not all there is...
- around 8 weeks is a good time. my pit bull had puppies and i gave them all away around 8 weeks...
- YES!!!! They shouldn't be separated till 8 weeks. Reason is because they develop behavioral problems if separated too early such as aggressiveness or shyness. Bitting is also a problem because they need at least 8 weeks to learn bit inhibition. The mother and litter mates teach them by either not play with the pup if he or she bites or by giving him a good ass kicking for bitting them!
- Not only is it too early to separate them and place them with new homes, in all probability it's ILLEGAL. Many states have restrictions agains the sale of puppies before the age of 8 weeks. And even then, it's advised that they remain with the mom and littermates until around 12 weeks--from 8-12 weeks of age, dogs learn valuable socializations skills while still with the litter. You don't want to deny the puppies that crucial stage of development. (Particularly given the breed you are dealing with!) If you are that eager to sell them, or better yet, if you are that uneducated regarding the processes of breeding and raising a litter, then you shouldn't be breeding in the first place.
