Question
My daughter is suppose to get her new puppy on 12/16/07. It will be 6 weeks
old. I am concerned for 2 reasons. 1. It seems too early for the pup to leave it's
mom. 2. The week before Christmas with lots of company coming in and the
chaos. I need advice PLEASE!

Answer
Hello

Well the worse time of year to get a puppy is December because of christmas...try to get the breeder to keep the puppy until christmas is over. Also 6 weeks is a bit too young you want  7-8 week old puppy. Tiny toy breeds shouldn't be let go until they are 9-10 weeks.
