I think a big part of these interminable arguments about tabs is based on people using the same words to mean different things. In the following, I'm trying to avoid espousing my personal religion here, I just thought it would be good to try and explain the various sects. Anyway.
Puppies may be placed in new homes once they are eating well on their own. However, they will be better adjusted and make better pets by staying and interacting with littermates and the Mom-dog until they are at least eight weeks old--older generally is better.
Set up a small area for your puppy by closing off a corner of your home with baby gates or using a small exercise pen. Ideally, at 6 to 7 weeks old, you should create an area 8 feet by 10 feet for a small-breed puppy, or a larger area for a larger breed.Choose an area with an easy-to-clean surface in case of accidents; vinyl floors are generally easier to clean than carpets and hardwood floors.onsider that puppies under the age of 6 weeks usually need to be taken outdoors every 30 to 45 minutes, whereas puppies between 6 and 12 weeks of age may need to be taken every hour, according to the Housebreaking Bible.
