He's only 4 weeks old and has already been seperated from his littermates and mother?
Or did I miss something, is this the same aussie mix in your sig?

[lv4dogs]

Just bumping because I'm curious.

No, I'm getting a Shih Tzu that is 4 weeks old right now, I will be getting him when he is 6 weeks old.

Samantha is 5 months old. She is the Aussie mix.

Isn't six weeks still a little young?

[MyLittleMutt]

Yes.

Phew, I thought you thought that Sam was only 4 weeks old.

6 weeks is still a little young though. A reputable breeder or shelter won't let the dog go before (s)he's at least 8 weeks of age.

[MyLittleMutt]

I know. But I am not getting the dog from a shelter or breeder.

A lady, I know has 2 shih tzus that she got from some other person. The shih tzus were not being taken care of. The lady that has the shih tzu's didn't know the female was pregnant until she brought them home. I decided I wanted to get a puppy from her. She has already found homes for the other pups. She plans have mom dog spayed and dad dog neutered.
