early socialisation is a good idea so carrying pups around is surely not irresponsible even though I wouldnt imagine it is very common.
And whilst on the point of vacs I am well aware our vets do prefer a two week gap! And although I am not saying who is correct on this one I prefer to differ!

The interval between the first series of booster vaccinations should be between 3 and 4 weeks because vaccines can interfere with each other; upon infection with the vaccine virus, cells increase interferon production. Therefore, if the second vaccine is given within a week to ten days, it will fail. Delays longer than 8 weeks should be avoided.
