Question
how old must a puppy be in order for you to sell it.

Answer
A puppy should be at least eight weeks before it is placed, preferably nine weeks, as it needs to learn to inhibit its bite by interaction with its mother and its littermates. Some states are now making this placement age mandatory.

Of course, puppies should be handled and socialized during this time by their breeder.
