Hmm..I think it is a little young to have allow you to take the pup at 6 weeks, because I think she should spend a little more time with the litter mates and the mother, both from learning to play, socialize and discipline. I think you must watch her to ensure she is not learning to be domineering, otherwise you will have to correct her later.

I remember importing a 12 weeks old puppy and he growls when we took away some kibble after clearing customs. It signals "red" to me and he (7 months old) was attacked by an adult Lab when we were at an obedience training class. Believe me, he remembered that incident so well that we could not go further than competing in the intermediate level, because he will always react to a fair coat dog moving around his "perimeter". It's amazing, but could correct this "memory" over the years.
