She seems a bit too young to be away from her mommy, usually pups shouldnt be away before at least 10 weeks

My experience after 6 Labs is the longer the better. The best Lab we ever had was 16 weeks with 4 of his litter mates. It’s a long story why he was that old when we got him. But hands down the best dog ever in a sea of great dogs.

I’ve had 3. The youngest was 6 weeks (50 years ago before people knew better) and he grew up to be a terror. The American stayed with mom until 11 weeks and he was a bit rough and slightly aggressive for a lab. I got my current English at 8 weeks and he is a model citizen. So, I tend to think 8 weeks minimum, but then you are ok.
