Puppies are available from rescues. Sometimes you need to wait a bit, other times they fall right in to your lap. Rhett was 10 weeks, Scarlett 8. My mom's dogs, Oliver and Emmalee were 16 weeks and 9 weeks (the rescue held on to Oliver a little longer because he was such a tiny guy and they were waiting for just the right home for him).
My local humane society has puppies there 24/7.
The point is, if someone wants a puppy vs a slightly more mature dog, they are available. There is never any GOOD reason to support a bad breeder.
