Maltese puppy Question

I've heard two different things. 1. maltese pups can be sold at 6-7 wks. And 2. maltese pups must at least be 12 wks before sold. which is right?

Hi! I am a breeder of maltese and never let any of my pups go before they are 10 weeks old. No breed of puppy should be let go at 6 weeks of age, it's just too early. Hope this helps.

Wait until the pup is 12 to 14 weeks old. Small dogs need their mothers longer for they are too small to be out on their own. Wait!!!!!!!!!!

It is against the law to sell a puppy before it is 8 weeks old.
