Honestly I would go back to the breeder and tell her/him that you want to wait until 12 weeks after all the reading & research to give the puppy more time with Mom and littermates. A reputable breeder who cares about their puppies shouldn't have a problem with that and should want for the puppies to have the best start and learn important behavior steps before moving on.
If you read posts on YT from quite a few who got their babies at this age, there tends to be a recurring theme of similar problems they experience that a lot of people don't that waited until 12 weeks.
There is of course never a guarantee, but if it were me I would want to have the optimal situation starting out with a puppy!
