how long should puppies stay with their mom?

Answer 1

Six to nine weeks, depending on breed, size at birth, nutrition, etc. There are a number of factors that can affect how long a pup needs to nurse its mother. Taking the puppies too early can have detrimental results. You should really discuss this with your veterinarian.

Answer 2

The more nurturing the dog, the longer she will tolerate nursing the puppies.
A really good, patient mom, will let the pups nurse for 8-9 weeks.
An inexperienced mom, may not nurse the pups at all. Depends on the breed, age, temperament, and other factors. Even the gentlest of dogs can be stressed by other pets and humans disturbing her.
You will see obvious signs when the pups are ready to wean. When they try to nurse, she will either lay down and let them or she will nip, run and play.

Answer 3

A month is close to the minimum, a lot a breeders say 6 weeks.

The useful date is when the pups are weened, when they can eat enough food without mother's milk to maintain steady normal growth.

If you plan to give or sell the pups they deem to do better leaving the mothers as early as possible. They take to the new owners more completely the earlier the change takes place.
