Question
What is the youngest age a Lab can leave its mother?
Answer
Most puppies' weaning age is between 6-8 weeks of age. It is best to wait until the puppies are at least 6 weeks so they are eating on their own and will be able to adapt better to a new home. And it is best to have them adopted by 8 weeks so they can start their puppy round of vaccinations. They lose their mothers' immunity about this age and need to start their puppy boosters.
