Question
how long do pit bull puppies have to stay with their mother  

Answer
No puppy should ever leave its mother and litter mates before 6 weeks.  The best time is 7=8 weeks.  The period between 6-12 weeks is a dangerous time.  One sniff where a sick dog relieved itself in the last 6 months can bring on parvo or another life threatening disease.  Fail to expose it to strangers, including men, women, children, noise, etc. and you could end up with a misfit you can't take out in public.  They also need continuing contact with other dogs, but it must be limited to ones you know are getting good care.
