Many state laws require it be a minimum of 6 weeks, which is a good rule of thumb. WHEN partially depends on the breeder. Always take home pups that have been fully weened and are on solid food.
Keep in mind that their food needs to be regulated as they mature: more protein as pups or hard working dogs, less as they become more sedate.

When should newborn puppies have their first vet check?
I would recommend taking them in to the vet as soon as possible as there is always a chance that puppies could be born with cleft palates, or other abnormalities that could cause them suffering and even death. I have taken our puppies in the day they were born, but no later than 3 days of age. It's reassuring too.

Can puppies be taken away from their mother as soon as they open their eyes?
No. Taking a puppy away at such a young age would be severely detrimental to its health and mental development. Puppies need to be fully weaned, and gone through the socialisation stage (which happens around 6 - 8 weeks) with their own littermates, mother, and humans before they can be taken away. Puppies that have left before this time will most likely have socialisation problems later on.
