Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| In New Zealand anything before 8 weeks is a no-no .. they have not learnt all appropriate behaviors before then... I'm a newbie to the forums myself but have noticed a few newbies introducing themselves and there pups which are under 8 weeks old, or were when they took them home. I mentioned the problem with that to the first one, but am kinda blown away to see the next newbie has a puppy under 8 weeks too. Is it acceptable in the states to take pup's home before 8 weeks, or are we just seeing the aftermath of irresponsible breeders? Please forgive me if this is considered ok over there, is very frowned upon here. |

| It's very frowned upon here too. In many states, it is illegal to release pups before 8 weeks of age. Unfortunately a lot of breeders release beforehand, regardless of the laws or ethics of it, but reputable breeders will not release before 8 weeks. |

| Thanks for clearing that up for me. Obviously a lot of people do very little research into puppy owning itself before getting one. Makes me a bit sad |

| 8 weeks here in Australia too. I don't personally know anyone that would pick up a puppy before then and often breeders keep pups until 10 weeks of age. |

| That's generally the same here, some also keep them till 12.. generally it's NZKC members that go for the 12 week mark. |

| There is a range here, some states allow 7 weeks, most require 8, although they are making the laws tougher thankfully. I brought my first pup home at 12 weeks, and my second at 9. I do think the time between 8 and 12 weeks is a pretty important developmental time and was happy I got to have some of that time with my second pup. |
