Are you being serious...........? I hope not....In fact, that's got to be on the list for one of the dumbest things I've ever read on these forums.....I don't blame you totally, because I'm assuming someone else gave you this false information (I'm guessing your breeder), but uh........yeah...........
Anyway, 8 weeks is the minimum age pups should leave for new homes.
From weeks 4-8, puppies will learn about pack heirarchy, bite inhibition and proper social behavior within the pack. Taking a puppy home before 7-1/2 to 8 weeks of age really deprives the puppy of much needed training by mom and littermates and will make your job of training much more difficult.
