Best advice I have ever gotten....puppy should be at LEAST old enough to have 
OFA prelim'd, ears up, all teeth in, and hopefully have competed in at least 
one match (a win there would be nice, but at LEAST have the opportunity to see 
that pup in a show ring and compare to other pups its age)....anything younger 
than that is "just" a puppy...no ifs, ands, or buts.  Either love him/her for 
what he/she is and let the baby shine in the RIGHT ring, or if you are hell 
bent on a "show quality" animal,  give this little life back to the breeder so 
that they can find a home where the dog will fit and be happy. NONE of us have 
a crystal ball and even the most exquisite pup can fall apart. Remember folks, 
we are playing with Mother Nature here...and last time I asked, she didnt offer 
any guarantees! lol
