Question
I six weeks to early to take a baby pit from the mom?

Answer
Hi Luis, Thanks for the question.
yes, it is best to have the baby with mom until 8 weeks old.  If the little one is doing well and is eating puppy food already, then the 6 weeks would be ok.  Sometimes moms don't want to feed the little ones after 6 weeks of age.  They have teeth that hurt mom!  Moms sometimes run away from the pups.

So the answer to your question depends on the pup and how it is thriving and growing.  

Good luck with all...

Let me know if you need help once you get your new little one.
