Check out my new Boston Terrier. She is ~3 weeks old, and I hopefully get to take her home in about 10 days.

We had one when I was a kid. They are great dogs, but it's snoring would rattle the windows. He would also let loose with absolutely horrible smelling farts.

I think you are squeezing it's neck too tight. Poor things eyes are bugging out of it's head.

Bostons are fun little dogs. Can be very high engergy though until they mellow out later in their life.

I heard you shouldn't take a puppy away from its mother and littermates until it's at least 6-8 weeks old, so it can be socialized, learn bite inhibition properly,etc. plus you can tell if the dog is an r-tard or not by then.

oh, yeah...I didn't even catch that. A puppy should not be taken from the mother until a MINIMUM of 6 weeks. 8 is better. They need to be weaned off milk and they need to feed from the mother until at least 6 weeks.

My mom was a registered Boston Terrier breeder when I was a child, 40+years ago.
No pup should be seperated from it's litter-mates or bitch before it is 6~8 weeks old.
YOU ARE A SELF CENTERED FOOL TO BRING IT HOME SOONER. If the breeder permits
you to bring it home at 4 weeks...The breeder is crap!
That pups eyes look cloudy, have a vet look the dog over before money changes hands.

Thanks for the advice, GalvanizedYankee and the rest.

To be exact, the Puppies finished their 3rd week on 12/7. The breeder seemed to think she would be fine to come home at the end of week 5 (12/21). Should I press her to keep the puppy for a bit longer? I felt like I could trust the breeders judgement. Maybe I was wrong.

I will definitely be taking the puppy to my local vet on pick-up day. If there is a problem, I will simply void my check and return the puppy.
