If the puppies are with the mother then you should keep them with her until 8 weeks of age.

The puppies can technically be taken away after 6 weeks, but the longer the puppies are with the mother the better because they will learn from their mother.

At what age do you take the puppies away from the mom?

Puppies are usually weaned and ready to be separated from their mother at around 8 weeks of age. It is important for the puppies' development that they stay with their mother and littermates until this age, as they learn important socialization skills during this time.

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.


Can all puppies be taken away at once from the mother?

After 8 weeks they can all be taken away at once yes, BUT it can upset the mother dog because she will feel as if all of her work feeding and looking after them has done no good :(
