Hobby breeders often sell their puppies earlier than 12 weeks because they are not interested in keeping one for themselves or they may make their selection early and see no reason to keep the others beyond 8 or 10 weeks. Show breeders on the other hand know you have to keep them longer to watch them develop before you can determine if one is show quality or just pet quality.
