Sounds like you have made your mind up-and it's up to you but for me-no way-when he says leave mum-are you sure he doesn't just mean remove mum from kitts,coz they don't need her,coz their you have no way of being sure that their new owners will vaccinate them accordingly so in this instance imo it's if you can live with the consequences9should their be any) and to be honest i would not buy any pedigree that wasn't only not vaccinated but allowed to leave at such an age-in fact it would start bells ringing
Think like this-if they were your human babies-would you take the risk or do everything you could to give them the very best chance in their journey thru life?
