We are waiting for a puppy and the breeder suggested she now likes to wait for 12 weeks on the whole but it isn’t impossible to collect her earlier if we want to take her for the 2nd vaccine ourselves .
I have been doing a bit of reading on this too and it suggests the puppy may benefit from the extra socialising with her siblings at a critical stage of development.
does anyone have experience or other wisdom?
I am sure it depends on breed a bit too (ours is a health tested cavalier) but interesting those who have experience and which you found best for the puppy. I guess it’s a hard question but I also wonder if an older puppy will find it harder to adjust as will have a clearer idea of her original home?
