It is generally against German law to separate dog-puppies from their mother earlier than with 8 weeks. If they have to be separated from their mother out of medical reasons they have to stay together till this age.
Also the German kennel club doesn´t allow to give them away before this age. As there is a second control by the kennel club at this time you have to show all puppies at your own place or you are in trouble.
If you get a German puppy before this age without medical need and no matter if FCI or not it is illegal and you should be very aware that the breeder is acting outside the law, no matter what his intentions are.
