She is really too young to be separated from her mother. Puppies should stay with mom until 8 weeks of age. If there is anyway for her to stay with her mother that is the best option. At one month old she still needs milk so if she can't be with her mom you will need to bottle fee her milk replacer like Royal Canin Babymilk.
