Thanks alot to all of you for your responses.
I will contact the breeder to find out if I can take him home at a later age. However Ive read that at the 8wk mark the pup is more suspectible to become scared and agitated. At 7wks or 9+wks after is recommended. Of course the older is always better in terms of house training maturity, etc.
And I will find a way to make this work while both of us are working reg. hrs. I considered the daycare option for a few days a week, but doesnt that just break the routine that dogs usually need? Ill most likely find a sitter or have my neighbor come over.
Also, is it necessary to have them sleep in crates at nite while in your room? How about just a cozy dog bed near our bed? Im just thinking less confinement as possible...
