Betty - these are *not* wonderful
people. If they couldn't do the rudimentary research to ascertain when a
puppy is psychologically ready to leave it's dam - and the very earliest date is
49 days old - then they have not taken their responsibility seriously. They had
a responsibility to these puppies - and they failed them.
Most concientious breeders will keep
their pups until eight to twelve weeks old because they know that they will
learn more about canine behaviour - and acceptance of discipline - from their
dam - than they will ever learn from their human family.
It is too, too sad. However, keep
your baby safe - away from other dogs and public places until all innocculations
are complete.
I wish you the very best of luck with
Dante,
