In a few of the pictures, the puppies have a look of "get me and I'll eat your face at night"

If I were to judge soley on appearance, I like the little guy in your signature.

Sorry if I missed it, but how old are they?

 

[xo_PuPpYlUvEr_xo]

I know it's hard, but is there any way she can keep him until at least 10 weeks, preferably 12? Puppies really shouldn't leave that soon, especially small breeds.

 

[xo_PuPpYlUvEr_xo]

Oh I didn't know that...I'll ask her what she thinks about it, but even though it's a few hours away it is a driving distance incase I need hewr for something...

 

[jdthepug]

^ I would really, really research it.

I don't know any responsible breeder who would let their puppies go that young...

 

[xo_PuPpYlUvEr_xo]

Ok, i'll do the research and let ya know what I find!...

 

[xo_PuPpYlUvEr_xo]

hmmm, not much came up on google... I could only find one weird story where these people bought their dog at around 3 months and he was agressive? N idea what that had to do with my search terms? I know that you probably know a LOT more about dogs than I do but the breeder has adopted out many lhasas at this age before with no problems...

 

[jdthepug]

imo, they should stay with their litter mates and their mother to learn proper socialization skills... ie: bite inhibition. I'm surprised you didn't come up with any info, maybe do a search for breeders who don't let their puppies go before 10-12 weeks and contact them for their reasons (everyone is different)?

I can *slightly* understand why a breeder of larger dogs would let their dogs go at 8 weeks, but for small breeds... no way. Not trying to burst your bubble or anything.

ok... I typed in "how long do lhasa apsos have to stay with thier mother"... Not the best srearch terms, LOL... I'll check it out, but I REALY want to get him next weekend and he looks ready... I'll definitely have to think about it...

No, not the best search term.

4.) When should you bring me home?

Lhasa puppies are much slower maturing than many other breeds. On average, puppies learn important social skills, such as bite restraint, from playing with their mother and littermates between six and eight weeks old. However, some Lhasas still don’t have teeth at eight weeks and they can’t learn bite restraint until they get their teeth. Depending on how much housetraining and socialization the breeder is doing, Lhasa puppies adjust best to their new homes and families sometime after ten weeks old.

btw, I am contacting someone from the American Lhasa Apso Club to see what they say.

 

[xo_PuPpYlUvEr_xo]

ok, thanks for the link... I will definitely consider it and talk to the breeder about it before I make my decision...

 

[xo_PuPpYlUvEr_xo]

I checked out the other parts of the link as well and found it very useful, so thank you once again... I knew most of it considering I already own a full grown lhasa, but some things were very interesting!

Yeah, I agree with JD, 8 weeks is too young.
