[quote=Anonymous]I get the impulse to do this because your pick up day is so close to Christmas. But I would caution against it. The puppy is not a toy - he’s a member of the family. And the kids should respect it as such. Also, the puppy needs to settle into his new house and routine from the get go for a successful integration. He’s leaving his the only people/pack he’s ever known to join yours and live in a totally foreign environment. If you want to bond correctly, he needs to connect with you all right away. 12 weeks is on the older side for getting a puppy. Those first 100 days of puppyhood are absolutely key for how he responds to people/kids/other animals. I would take the kids to the breeder with me to pickup the puppy. It can still be their special memory of Christmas time this year. They don’t need a puppy in a box on Christmas morning. [/quote]
