The breeder won't keep them longer, I will lose my 200$ deposit. This is apparently there 8 the litter, with different dogs obviously, and they have always kept the puppies for only 6 weeks.
I've done research and I know people who have gotten puppies as early as 5 weeks old, Everyone I I talked to and everywhere I read, said as long as the puppy can eat on his own , he is fine, and He is already eating wet dry food at 4 weeks.
