    About 8 weeks. They are young enough for people to observe they are puppies, but old enough to be weaned from mother’s milk and strong enough to leave home.

    Usually 8 weeks, but it’s alway’s better if you can wait until they are at least 12 weeks.

    I generally waited until mine were about 9 weeks old to let them go to their new homes unless they showed show potential, in which case I kept them longer to see how they developed.

    Don’t sell your pups too young. They need to develop longer to be socialized with their litter mates and get used to being handled, groomed, nails cut, and stuff like that. Puppies that leave their mother and litter mates to early tend to be fearful and stressed more than one who has had more time to grow and develop.

    They usually say about 5 or 6 weeks, just go ahead and sell them , if they are already eating food, and drinking milk..

    I’m sure they will be fine

    Don’t wait to long a get attached ..

    Merry Christmas

    you should have figured this out before you let your dog get pregnent

    they dont drink milk anymore at that age… expecially cow milk…

    water

    also
    they leave their mother at 8 weeks old they need to stay untill then so they can grow a little with brothers and sisters and mother

    good luck

    The ability to get enough from being pushed away by stronger ones we had mother once who didnt even want to feed on their own runts can take up to wks since they lack the young that was hard as we had.
