Kopper came home 3 days before his 8 week birthday.

Diamond was a little over 8 weeks old because she had to be able to fly in the belly of the plain, and the law would not allow a dog younger than 8 weeks fly. Because of this she was already crate trained and is very patient in travel too

I got Meika at 6 or 7wks old, she is the best dog ever and very obedient. My other dogs are rescues/ adopted so I got them later in life.
I prefer, if I get another puppy, 9wks old.
