Pics are back up...generally though it doesnt matter how fast the line matures, breeders here keep their puppies till atleast 8 weeks old.

Rachael mine would still try to nurse of their dam at 7 weeks too...heck I think they were still trying at 10 weeks when she would walk by them...they were little piggies!! :)

lol yeah I will let mine go 8-9 weeks but it just depends on the breeder I guess!
 
He sure is cute and you have some beautiful shelties. I agree that 7 weeks is to young to come home, they need that extra week or two to learn manners from mom. Love the name too.

I always think there is something a little "evil-looking" about them at this age! Almost makes you want to not get a Sheltie at all! Something about those squinty little eyes.....:lol::eek2:

I agree that while dogs may be weaned earlier, they do need that extra 1-2 weeks for extra socializing by mom. A week doesn't seem very long, but for a puppy, its a big week.
