I am flying out of state to pick up my puppy from the breeder & bring her home. The breeder wants the pups to go at 8wks, unfortunatly we have a vacation planned when she will be 8wks, so I asked if she could stay an xtra week & we will pick her up the following weekend, at 9wks. The only downfall to this option is that I will have the last of the litter instead of getting to pick out of two females. (not really a big deal to me, she will be a family dog and I will love her no matter what)
My sister is also getting a pup from this breeder, & said today she would be willing to pick up hers & mine (pick one for me) & take her for the week until I can come get her. The advantage of this is my sister will have the whole week off to work on potty training, etc.
Sorry this is so long, but here are my questions...
What will be better for the puppy? Would it benefit her to spend an extra week with her mom? Will it confuse her if she is at my sisters home and then mine? Thanks!

this is from a reputable lab breeder in upstate new york. She is a female chocolate lab. I wish I could be there with her unfortunatly the timing was horrible! But atleast if my sister had her I can call and check in, and know she is being well cared for. I jsut wasnt sure if there were any benefits for a pup to stay with a mother until 9wks
