I would have prefered to get Takara at 8 weeks but the breeder gave us a choice to get her the weekend after she was 7 weeks (about 7 weeks, 3 days I think).

She was a complete nightmare puppy but to be fair, I think she would've been anyway! And she's a dally!

The bank holiday weekend was a perfect time to get her, so we chose the time we'd be able to spend most time with her rather than worrying about 4 days.

7 weeks is ok ..........

Got both of mine at 7 and a half weeks as they were born mid week so I picked them up at the weekend. If the pups are good size and have no problems then this isn't a problem.
I think it's more important to pick your pup up in the morning then you and the pup have the entire day to get him/her settled rather than picking the pup up one evening and it all being a rush, Good luck with your new pup. How exciting

Aww, good luck with your new edition.
7 wks is ok.

Yep got Diesel at 7 weeks, breeder normally waited til 8 weeks but he was doing so well she was happy to let him go at 7 weeks and we couldnt wait anyway.

Good luck with your new pup you must be so excited xx

i got milllie at 6 weeks. shes fine - confident, actually a lot bigger than her litter - she evn got mistaken for a dog

i think we bonded better because i got her that much earlier (only because her mum was snapping at them etc)

Mine were 7 weeks no probs, just a lotta puppy lovin.

7 weeks is fine, I got both mine at 7 no probs, although I would have preffered they stayed 'til 8, it's just how the circumstances worked out, dates worked out easier as I travelled a fair distance for them.

Dusty was 7 weeks 3 days I think and Maddy was 7 weeks and 1 day.

6 weeks in my experience is still a little to early for the vast majority of pups, before 6 weeks is a definate no no, same as 12 weeks plus can sometimes cause bonding/socialisation problems. 8 -10 weeks is usually the perfect time, but 7 weeks is ok....

actually millie was 2 days under 6 weeks - and i know it was too early but tough

she coudlnt stay with her mum much longer - she was getting sick of them - the mum was barely 1 year old whe n she had them

personally id have them from round about 7 weeks onwards in furture.

we had lil at 7 weeks,then choc who we were not going to have (untill i worked my magic with my oh!!!!)at 8 weeks.we havnt had any problems with lil at all,choc is getting better now but we couldnt leave him alone for ages or he would go mad chewing everything,weeing,pooing,crying.....lil is alot more independant than choc,hes getting alot better tho.
