The best age to pick up a puppy from a breeder is usually 3 months. We strongly advise against purchasing puppies before 8 weeks of age!
By spending time with their mother and siblings, puppies develop desirable behaviors and learn to live among their own kind.
Separating a puppy from its mother too early has many negative consequences, which impact its health and behavioral development.
The effects of separating a puppy from its mother too early include increased susceptibility to illness, anxiety, susceptibility to stress, separation anxiety, deficits in social skills, and problems with emotional regulation.
