How old was your baby...

Oskar was just over 8 weeks.

I got Shelby from the SPCA when she was a little over 1 year old.

Heidi was 2 years when we got her. At that age she fit right in with our lifestyle and was already housebroken. She was just a blessing and perfect for our home.

Harry's Mom- I am getting a puppy in a couple of weeks and he is going to be 13 weeks too. I am kind of glad because when I brought Shelby home at 5 weeks she was so tiny. I know what the wait is like it's KILLING me too!

I am hoping that he will have learned a little more then Shelby when I brought her home because I thought I would NEVER get her trained! Plus I didn't know if he was tiny how Shelby would act so I am kind of glad he's bigger so they can play and she won't unintentionally hurt him.

Congrats on your new puppy! I am getting mine Feb 12 when are you getting yours?

I got Beau at 9 months from his breeder (she told me he was a year and a half so seeing his birthday on his papers was a big shock!). He had plenty of time to spend with his mom and dad as well as several other boxers at the kennel. He stayed in a kennel at my mom and dad's for a few weeks until I got my apartment. He's almost a year now and is going through a horrible chewing stage (blankets, papasan chair, etc.) but it's all worth it.

We brought Diesel home when he was 12 weeks old. We picked Daisy up when she was just about 8 weeks. Although with Daisy the breeder e-mailed us pictures of her as soon as she was born and then every week thereafter!! We did purchase them both from the same breeder but we didn't find the breeder until her puppies were already 12 weeks old.

 

[Gus's Mum]

We had known Gus's breeder for many years. After the litter was born, we went up to look at the litter when they were about 4 weeks old. We picked Gus there & then. We visited him a few more times until he was ready to come home at 8 weeks. Everytime we went to see him he would shove his litter sisters out of the way, as if to say don't bother they're here for me.
He still hasn't changed and he'll be 12 in a couple of weeks, we belong to him.

12 weeks

We got Rocky when he was 12 weeks old. Crate training was easy, as he was already used to being in a crate most of the time. The age worke out perfectly for me, and now at almost 6 months- he is housebroken.

 

[MyBoySamson]

The breeder told me Sammy was 6 weeks old when we picked him up. But when I got his AKC papers back, it said his birthdate was March 31st, which made him 7 weeks when we got him. Not a big deal, but still. OMG, he was so tiny! He slept all the way to his new home. We got him on a bit of a fluke. I really wanted a boxer pup, but my BF didn't, but we went and looked at them and he fell in love. We drove about an hour and a half to the breeder on a Friday and we didn't leave with one. I was so mad, but my BF woke me up at about 4 in the morning and said we'll go get one the next morning! I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night. And he bought Sammy for me. He got to name him and pick him out, but it was so worth it (he really did a good job). We got him home and took him to the pet store and ended up spending close to $150 on him! What was so cute is that he had to be in the same room with us to sleep. We tried putting him in his crate out in the living room and he cried and cried, so we had to move it into our bedroom and he slept all night! Well at least until between 3 and 5 in the morning. (Now I want another one:()

Max was almost 8 months old when we brought him home. We waited till he was 10 months old to have him neutered with no problems. We just wanted to give him time to adjust to the new home and such.
