She was not hard to potty train and is very healthy. After learning that 6 weeks is much too early to take a puppy home, I realize she is more of the exception to this rule. Perhaps the buyer didn't know at the time that this is an unhealthy age?
I believe the OP is referring to people who are told 5-6 weeks is too young, then they say "well I don't have a choice". If you truly do not know, that is one thing, but having many people say that it's too young and you still go for it is what baffles me. Same thing as buying from a place that screams mill, and getting warnings, but still buying from there.

I just don't understand.
