Puppies must be at least 50 days old before being separated from their mother. It is a minimum age limit given by regulations of CMKU (Bohemian and Moravian Cynological Union). However, a good breeder considers a real maturity of a puppy - mental and physical maturity, and health issues. This includes also proper vaccination. A good breeder answers all questions concerning puppies and is happy to share experience and knowledge with the new owner (such as advices on puppy care, education, health, cosmetics etc.).
