I totally understand what you're saying. I've raised 2 pup's under the 8 weeks before and i never had any behavior issues with either one. every PB i've had (thats every dog i've had...) i raised from weeks till they passed. Like i mentioned in my other thread, my brother & cousin are my mentors when it comes to raising pup's under 8 weeks as they've done it way more then i have. My brother's PB Tiger was raised @ 5 weeks and he's now 8 yrs and is the all around perfect PB. I'm not saying it won't be a problem but i'm confident i can handle him. He's already got the basics down and i haven't had a single issue with him so far. Today i spoke to a local vet (and a PB Lover) who's a regular customer at my shop & he said it's fine. I'm bringing Dub to him next week for a check up and if he feels Dub needs to go back to mom, then i'll bring him back & he can spend the last 3 weeks.
I thank you for advice though . It crossed my mind earlier and i'm glad i ran into the Vet while it was fresh in my mind.
