Dear Geeks
Please don't shout at me for posting this here but I struggle with finding an honest advice
I put a deposit for a border collie pup but the person who's having puppies wants me to collect my pup when it's 6/7weeks old. I was told by him that's not too early at all.
I've read a lot and usually it's 8weeks to allow the pup to socialise, learn skills etc. so it must be with mum until then? What are your thought on this????
My worry is that if I don't collect the pup when they say so- which is after 6th or 7th week, The pup will be anyway on its own in the cage and separated from mum I don't want the pup to be emotionally affected by the early separation.
I tend to get easily paranoid over things (security issues tho!) and I just want someone's opinion if that's ok, not ok, too early? Not too early? To separate the pup from the mum x
Once the pups are born i will contact the person with my concerns but I want what's best for the little one and if they would anyway separate the mum from the pups then it's better if we take it earlier, isn't it?
So many thought in my head! Ehhhh
