I would want to get it at 12 weeks for the reasons listed already (socialization, hypoglycemia...). Since the YTCA says 12 weeks and I want any breeder that I buy from to follow their directions, I would not get get one too much younger than that.

By the way, Ellie came home at about 8 weeks but that is before I knew better.
