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.

How long do staffy puppys feed from mum?
In the wild, weaning begins naturally as soon as the puppies start to develop their teeth at three to four weeks of age. Suckling then irritates or hurts the mother who will move away and leave her puppies for longer and longer periods. Natural weaning involves the female dog vomiting her food and the puppies consuming the vomitus. Many pets will also do this and cause concern to owners. It is usually a natural maternal function and nothing to be worried about. Once the puppies' eyes are open, the sooner the puppies are weaned, the less the strain on the mother and the sooner she will return to normal condition. If the puppies have been hand raised for any reason, the sooner they are weaned and eating solid food on their own, the better. It is worthwhile to begin offering soft foods as soon as their eyes are open.
