Your breeder let you bring Zoe home at 7 weeks!!!? Since she is 3 lbs now she must have been VERY tiny when you brought her home! Reuger is almost 6 lbs and I didn't bring him home until he was 12 weeks. I'm sure glad that you didn't have any problems because on YT I've read of so many who had big problems bringing them home that early and that small.

We had a lab and we brought her home at 7 weeks old. My husband had a training book and that was the age that was recommended.
