Puppies should not leave their littermates until they are at least 8 weeks old. Until this age, they are in need to learning socialization rules from their littermates. If taken away too early, puppies are more prone to become biters and whiners, as they didn't learn needed rules from their siblings. For their health as well, they should be allowed this fun and low-stress time with their brothers and sisters.

We will use the information and preferences that you supply to us, on the application and in following conversations, to choose a pup that will be most appropriate for your family. If you visit at 6 weeks we will ask that you tell us your top three favorites, in order, by the time you leave. We will finalize placement decisions between 6-7 weeks and let you know. It's not possible to visit once or twice, or to judge by pictures alone, and know which puppy suits your family best.

You will need to puppy-proof your home. You need to pick up anything you don't want the puppy to chew. You will need to get basic supplies that you might not already have like dishes, collar, lead, beds, crate, toys, treats, etc. You will need to decide what to feed the dog for food. You should prepare your yard for the puppy by getting rid of any toxic plants or inappropriate items and check your fencing. You should read about Airedales and the needs of a puppy.
