IMO, if the breeder cannot devote the attention the pup needs to best suit it's needs because of other dogs or whatever reason, then it seems like he isn't exactly fulfilling his duties as a responsible breeder. What if it was a whole litter, not just one pup? Would the whole litter be lacking for the attention they needed?

If there are other pups and dogs (that the pup should already be used to) then it should still be able to socialize with in place of littermates while remaining with the breeder, right?

Seems to me like an excuse to offload the pup early. What about the other dog you have--was IT the only pup in THAT litter?
