[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should just wait a few more months for the next litter.  It's really not good to leave your puppy after such a short time with you.  [/quote]

This is what I would do.

If it's an 8 week puppy, you have until they are 16 weeks to complete socialization. After that, the window is closed and it's limited what you can do. The breeder might be able to do some socialization, but likely not much, as it involves taking your puppy to MANY different places, around lots of people, other dogs, etc.

A dog sitter will cost you a fortune since puppies that small really need to be let out every hour. So you'd have to pay someone to stay literally 24 hours a day, which will probably run you $300+ a day (if you can even find anyone). If you skimp and use someone who comes every few hours, your puppy will have accidents in their crate which will completely f**k up potty training (BTDT).

Wait until the next litter. A few months of waiting will save you years of hardship.[/quote]
