I respect you opinion and we are in total agreement. The puppy quite possibly should have still been with it's mother and littermates in the best of circumstances. Since she said she had "just gotten the puppy" (maybe from pet store in the mall) I was giving her the benefit of the doubt that she wasn't aware of the fact that he/she was too young. This doesn't make her stupid or dumb, imo, just ignorant.
Unfortunately, as we have learned on here, not every breeder gives the best advice and it sounds like she "just got" the puppy and it was a weekend so she probably hadn't taken it to the vet yet to get the good advice on how fragile these little ones are.
A good breeder would not have let that puppy go before 12 weeks, imo. I agree with you completely.
