How does this system work in other countries? How do kennel clubs ensure that a puppy goes home not earlier than it is allowed (in Lithuania 6 weeks, but I personally think it is still a bit too early)? |

Finland.
Delivery earlier than 7 weeks of age. And not a day less than this, some breeders use to 12 weeks. |

Like most things regarding dogs, in the US it is largely unregulated when a pup is taken from it's litter.
![]() I hear way too many stories of "I got my puppy when it was 5 weeks old..." The AKC gives papers within 2-3 weeks of the original application, which can be sent the day the puppies are born.

Well, Kennel Club regulations are not the same thing as the law.
The KC may have a preference or advice regarding age of placement but again, that's not the same as law. Here in the USA, many cities and counties (sometimes state-level) have regulations and statutes that make selling puppies under 8 weeks old an offense. For example, here in Los Angeles, ordinance number 181,353 says in part: "E. Agree not to transfer a dog or cat until it has reached the age of eight weeks, has been weaned, micro-chipped, immunized against common diseases, and in the case of a dog four months of age or older, has received its rabies vaccination. Proof of the rabies and other vaccinations shall be provided to the new owner; " Course, monitoring is lax and largely not actively enforced, mostly it's based on people calling in and reporting someone.. I have reported backyard breeders who are selling dogs under 8 weeks old. Usually they get a visit from Animal Control and a warning, though the ordinances here do give outlines for violations: "A violation of the transfer permit provisions of this Section may be prosecuted as a misdemeanor or an infraction or punishable by means of an administrative citation. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the transfer permit and applicable law shall also be grounds for the revocation or suspension of the transfer permit."

There are no regulations that I know of here in Bulgaria (and even if there were, nobody would take a blind bit of notice

Personally I prefer to let the owners pick up the pups when they have about 90 days old, it's hard to stay with whole litter until this age and keep working in socializing them, but what the pack teaches to the pups helps a lot the future owners. According my experience, it turns the pups much easier to teach and also to accept his hierarchy place in his new pack, it's like if the adults teach them to how to respect and also how to react to different situations envolving dogs and also people.
