I didn't want to put him in the box! But I know taking a 6 week old pup is not wise.
However, depending on my scheduling, I may consider next weekend at 7-1/4 weeks. He is really large, eating on his own very well, has had a set of shots, and is already learning to "hold it" in the box.
I have to really weigh the idea of taking him 5 days early with the fact it will be a weekend and then only a couple days of work for my husband and also a kind of down week (doctors close that whole week traditionally as much as possible) for me so I can pay a lot of attention.
Since my breeder is likely reading this thread -- I am really leaning to coming to get him next Sat. rather than the following Tues.
