You bring up a good point. Some toy breeds do mature at a slower rate than other dog breeds. Follow your breed club's recommendation. Most breed clubs' <a href="http://www.collieclubofamerica.org/ethics.html" rel="nofollow">code of ethics </a> do state 8 wks of age as the necessary age before breeders are able to release their puppies. In the case of your breed(s), that age may be a couple of weeks later. Janet, thanks for your comment. You bring up a good point. Some toy breeds do mature at a slower rate than other dog breeds.

Mine never leave till they are at least 10 weeks old for a Havanese and with Yorkshire Terriers the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America guidelines say 12 weeks old. IMO 8 weeks old is way to young.
