Default puppy switching homes

is it hard for a puppy of 6 mths to move to a new home and leave some people she's grown to love behind? will they adjust easily? i'm worried that my puppy will need to be potty trained all over again..

They typically handle it fairly well at that age. She may have some accidents to begin with, but once she's familiar with her surroundings she should be good to go. Many dogs are given up by loving families after many many years and they manage to get by in new homes, a 6 month old puppy should handle it fairly well just as long as you provide her with love and attention and a good home.

The pups will surely needs some time to adjust in their new environment but they will surely come around it...

Some dog have difficulties whenever he family move to new home. Just continue the regular routine when you moved to new home, let him sniff around o be familiarized...

Most dogs will do just fine even at an older age so at 6 months they will do just fine. The only dogs that I know of that don't do well at an older age (2 years +) when transitioning into a new home are Bernese Mountain Dogs.

Lightbulb making it slowly

I think dogs find it extremely hard to change home. Often they are left with a feeling of being deserted. This however can change. My advice is to do the change slowly. This helps the dog get used to the new place with you all still hovering somewhere around or visiting the dog often.
