Shih Tzu puppies should ideally stay with their mother until they are at least 8 weeks old. This period allows them to receive essential nutrients from their mother's milk and learn important social skills from her and their littermates. Early separation can lead to behavioral issues and health problems. Waiting until they are 12 weeks old is even better for their overall development.

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.
