6 wk litter pick



One plus with the 13 week old is that you would be able to get him right away without waiting, but that should not be the deciding factor. He is adorable, but they all are. Talk to the breeder and find out about his temperament, socialization, etc. and go from there. Also, why does she still have him and not his litter mates? Good luck with your decision. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them as long as they fit in with you and your needs. Just my thoughts:)

my thoughts too. If this one is "speaking" to you... go meet him!!!
My hav was actually almost 14 weeks old when we found and brought her home. He breeder was holding onto her because she was small and everyone who was interested in her wanted FULL breeding rights!! We have NEVER had an issue with nipping/biting because she was fully socialized by her littermates and all the adult dogs in the house!! :D just my 2 cents!!

i think the 13week old black and tan boy is beautiful, although he does look like he is starting to silver. I got my girl when she was that age and she was just fine. My breeder keeps them until they are at least 12 weeks old. I would have preferred to have her a little younger but that's the way she likes to do it!

Kodi was 11 weeks when I brought him home, and that was FINE... because he was with a breeder who continues their education as long as she has them. She has a LOT more experience than I do!!!:) It can work out very well, because they are more confirmed in their potty training, have more mature bladders, and have had more time to learn about the world in general.

But I also know people who have gotten older puppies and found that basically they were crated or kept in an ex-pen without any meaningful input or training from the time they were weaned until they went to their new home. It comes down, once again, to "Know your breeder!!!":biggrin1:

We collected Dizzie when he was between 12 and 13 weeks,and he was and is perfect!The original woman who had said she wanted him just dropped off the planet,so we got lucky and had the little fellow.Nellie was a day shy of 12 weeks when she came home,I would have liked to have collected her earlier,but their breeder likes to keep them until about 12 weeks old.

Thank you all so much for your thoughts! I guess i will just have to wait until i meet them. I kind of feel that since going into this my biggest concern was socializing my new puppy extensively to childten, maybe a younger pup would be better. But i think i will take my 3 year old grandson with me go see how the pups react to him, including the older one. I will make him behave of course, i dont want him to frighten the puppies. He is a good little boy :). But some dogs are just uncomfortable with kids voices, and quick movements etc. So if a pup seems more comfortable with him right off the bat then that would be a positive sign :)

Our Havs grew more and more confident around our grandchildren as time went by.They were always fine with them,but now they are so excited every time they visit,and they are very interested in children when we are out,much more so than adults,who they can take or leave.Nellie who is the slightly more nervy, has always had a close bond with our youngest grandson,who is now 4 and a half years old he was 1 and a half when she arrived.One of the reasons why we went back to having dogs was for the enjoyment they bring to the grandchildren,as they cannot have their own dog,because of parents work commitments.We see our grandchildren very frequently,and we have many happy pics of the children playing with the pups.Here are a few!
