Great posts Gennies!
I would also like to point out in Canada our reputable breeders also wait to 12 weeks.
Sweet Violet, although you may have some good points I feel like you are very defensive about the age of your puppy when you received her. I also think that in this thread you have shown many of the traits in which you said people do not like americans for. It just came of in my opinion kinda bully like, so I can see why you received the response from Gennies that you did. I mean no offense, honestly.
