Puppy without shots?

I just looked at a six week old chihuahua puppy. It had not had any shots but had been wormed. I love the puppy but I am concerned about the shots. The owner said that they would give her its shots but I was wondering if there are risks with how long the shot needed to be given before moving it to a new home? Is there a waiting period or once the shot is given it will be ok. Thank you for your reponse.

Puppies at 6 weeks are too young to leave their mother, 8 - 12 weeks is better.

It's not a matter of the shot schedule, it's really just that puppies need to be with their mothers for a while.

Here's the shot schedule your puppy will need:

6-8 weeks: 1st puppy shot
11 - 12 weeks: 2nd puppy shot
15-16 weeks: 3rd puppy shot
Over 4 months: Rabies shot
7-9 months: Heart worm
Then, as an adult, dogs get shots every year.
