When to pick up the puppy?

[saschia]

Nebulosa: Oh no! For CsV especially the early socialization phase is crucial. The breeder usually cannot socialize all pups as they would require for three months. And some don't even have conditions for that. I personally would take 6-8 weeks old puppy, if there are no special circumstances and even a 5 weeks old, if the mother is not good character (pups can learn to be shy from her). Csechoslovak wolfdogs are in good physical condition in 5 weeks already and can be taken from their mother, if they are cared after well.
