when I have bred a litter for myself in the past I have taken which ever pup I want away a lot earlier, the reason being I want it to learn what I want not how to scrap with its litter mates I dont want it bonding with the bitch I want it bonding with me, the last time I did this was with a 1st x saluki greyhound Keera and with her I woon obedience comps agility and a few gun dog scurries as well as many single handed coursing matchesbetween 5-8wks you can get just about all of the basic obedience done with out really trying

can you please wait now until I get my kevla vest on

its not about bonding with its mother or its siblings.its about learning the appropriate behaviour and body language for a dog.ive also seen dogs that have been taken away from the litter too early and their behaviour does get them into trouble with other dogs.they havent learned all the minute signals and social skills that a puppy should learn.if you talk to a human behaviourist about monkeys and humans (these are the two main groups of mammals that have had studies done on them by various people who are experts in their field)when they are taken away from their parents too early they have lots of problems in later life mainly with interaction with their own species.its not a question of keeping the puppy cos you want it to bond with its mum,its about the puppy learning all the skills it will need in later life in order to get along with its own species.as for the people who have said i got a pup at 6 weeks and theres nothing wrong with it then its probably due to good luck rather than good judgement and good management :thumbsup: me personally id rather not take the chance that a pup i sell is going to end up as a dog behaviourists client with behavioural problems later in life.for the sake of 2 weeks id rather keep the pup let it interact with its mother and siblings and know its got a rather better than average chance of being a happy well adjusted canine

Brilliant reply Kris :thumbsup:

I reckon the ones who let their pups go at six weeks,just don't want pay out for more feed for them,and can't wait to line their own pockets.Sorry if this sounds harsh,but its true in most cases.

well it wasnt true in case my litter of 12 went from 6 weeks on and no way did i do it for the money the mating was not even planed. My litter were all bottle feed on 9 pints of lactol a day then 12 tins a day and not the cheap rubbish. I worked hard day and night for weeks with those pups and everyone survived from the day they were born and are all doing brilliantly now one year on. The litter cost me nearly 800.00 to keep i made my money back with a 500.00 profit but most of that profit went no putting the garden right after the littles ones recked it so i really didnt make hardly anything. I am so proud of the fact that i reared 12 pups all by myself :thumbsup: their real mother was useless she just didnt want to know at all

This is a really interesting debate. I don't have any experience of breeding so I can only comment on my experience when I got Blue. We got him at 9 weeks old, by which time he had learned a lot about how to interact with other dogs as his mum would correct his behaviour when it got too over the top. Those extra few weeks didn't stop him forming a great bond with both Ian and me and he has excellent recall. Most importantly, I'm not afraid to let him off the lead around other dogs. So, on balance, I think 8 weeks as a minimum age for a pup to leave its mum is reasonable and I wouldn't want to take on a pup any younger than this.

I think that now this is just all about what age people prefer to take on a pup and not what is the best age to. Each to there own i say :thumbsup:

[markbrick]

Now, I don't want to offend.... But isn't it against some sort of law to let a pup go before 8 weeks?? I read it somewhere?

[maggie217]

The Breeding of Dogs Act 1991 and The Breeding and Sale of Dogs (Welfare) Act 1999 cover England, Wales and Scotland.  Under these Acts:

• It is an offence for a bitch to be mated if she is less than one year old.

• Breeding is restricted to no more than six litters in a lifetime and no more than one litter per year.

• The breeder must keep accurate breeding records and puppies must wear a visible means of identity.

• Puppies cannot be sold by a licensed breeder to their final home until they are at least eight weeks old.

......................

Yes, I know the above applies to licensed breeders, but the object is the welfare of the puppies.

Yep, The Breeding and Selling of Dogs (Welfare) Act 1999 States....

i think the ruling on licenced premises says anywhere where more than 3 litters a year are bred has to be licenced.i read the reply from no10 last week about the petition about banning puppy farming.according to the reply the government isnt planning to alter or introduce new legislation for the foreseeable future as they think there is enough legislation already enacted to give local government officers means of taking action against anyone breeding dogs in an unsatisfactory manner.what rubbish! :angry: its time someone showed the prime minister the state some of these pups are bred in :rant: i saw in the papers today a woman from south wales showing off her latest litter of dachshund crossed with chihuahuas.apparently theyre the latest 'thing' and are selling like hot cakes. these people treat dogs as just a commodity and its the animals that suffer (as usual)
