I've been kind of wondering about this topic myself. When we get our little guy, I will be able to stop home at lunch some days and we've got others to stop by to let him out as well.
We were originally going to leave him with the breeder until the end of the school year (I'm a teacher), but were told by another breeder that the longer puppies are with their parents and siblings, the harder it will be to separate them. They can even make themselves sick with depression from being pulled away. She recommended that we get a big enough cage/crate that he will have a potty area as well as a sleeping area so that if he does have to go, he won't have to go in his sleeping area.
So...opinions? I really don't want to leave him at the breeder longer than necessary if it is going to affect his health.
