bjh;2405570]I have read many articles on socialization that recommend placing pups between 8 to 12 weeks old. Personally I thinks pups adjust best if they are sold around 8 to 10 weeks.
The YTCA is a club and the code of ethics is for its members. It also says this:
While I respect the YTCA and what they are trying to achieve, I do not believe that just because a person sells a puppy before they are 12 weeks old, they are automatically 'unreputable breeders'. The YTCA is primarily made up of show breeders and there are many reasons for them to keep a puppy until they are 12 weeks or older.
To the OP......I am glad the lady is keeping the puppies until they are 9 weeks old. I think that is a great age to let pets go to their new home. Hopefully they will do well.[/quote]
