Puppy Culture Potluck: Ep12 - What’s the Best Age to Place Puppies?


Listen Later

This week’s question is about when puppies should go to their new homes:

“I've known breeders who keep their pups till 8 weeks, and some till 10 weeks. Some even until 12. What are the deciding factors in how long pups stay with the breeder? Does it depend on breed, the specific litter, or does it just come down to breeder preference?”

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Optimal age for placing puppies.
  • Factors that go into determining what that optimal age is.
  • Extenuating circumstances that influence the decision when to place puppies.
