Question
There is a chance that i will be getting a boston terrier puppy when he is 6wks old , i just was wondering if i need to do anything special for him . would i have to nurse him still? how do i take carev of him when he is just 6wks , is really a difference of getting a pup at 6wks then it is at 8wks? thank you jamie

Answer
Hello Jamie - most good breeders will keep the pups until 8 weeks or even more.  I feel 6 weeks is too soon to leave mom and another 2 weeks will sure help the pup.  Many times moms is not nursing the pups too much at 6 weeks but they still get her care and comfort.
Good Luck with all!
