The family we got her from told us it's illegal for breeders to re-home a puppy under 8 weeks old here in NY, but they aren't breeders. Dharma doesn't have any papers telling her lineage, we just know she's a full dachshund because we know who her parents are, and they do have papers. This was an oopsie litter. My oldest daughter was actually at the house when the puppies were born. She babysits for the kids. We basically got her when they were ready to release the pups.I once purchased a puppy in NJ and brought her home to PA and to my vet the next day. 7 weeks old. Vet said it is illegal to sell pups under, I think it was 8 weeks, in PA. I pointed out that her papers were from NJ. couldn't take her back, but she was young.
I really think 10 weeks is best, my Cavalier was that age, pups have learned better by then how to separate from the mother.
Oh well, just more work for the humans!
She's very sweet!
Last night was a great night. My daughter put the puppy in bed with her. Puppy is already good at letting her know when she has to go potty, and they have a nice beginner routine worked out. She's adjusted really well here, and she's constantly trying to play with the other dogs and cats. She's extremely spunky. I just love watching her run and hop and trip over herself. Her giant, floppy ears make me giggle.
