How old poodles have to be before they get sold?

There is no universal age requirement for selling a poodle. However, reputable breeders typically wait until their puppies are at least 8 weeks old before selling them. This allows the puppies to:

* Be fully weaned from their mother: Poodles are typically weaned around 6-8 weeks old.

* Develop a strong immune system: Puppies need time to build up their immune system before being exposed to new environments and other dogs.

* Receive necessary vaccinations: By 8 weeks old, puppies can receive their first set of vaccinations.

* Have their first vet check: This helps ensure the puppy is healthy and free of any health problems.

* Be properly socialized: Puppies need time to learn basic socialization skills from their siblings and mother before going to their new homes.

It's crucial to avoid buying puppies from breeders who sell them younger than 8 weeks old, as this can be a red flag that they may be prioritizing profit over the well-being of their puppies.

Always consider adopting a poodle from a rescue organization or shelter as well! They often have adult poodles who are looking for loving homes.
