My pups will be 12 weeks this week and I thought when they were 10 weeks they were so sturdy and healthy that'd they be fine to go to a new owner - not that I planned to sell them then --- just thought they seemed so "ready" and they might have did well to go then but --- I have to admit I am amazed at how much they've matured socially, etc and playing with 'mama dog' has really added to them overall this last week and half. So I will agree 12 weeks is better. Mine now sit, play fetch, potty pad trained, etc, so amazing how they've developed recently. I think the 11/12 week mark is a real milestone time for them.
I couldn't imagine getting one at 8 weeks, I'd agree to try to get them to stay with the owner until 12 weeks..."but", makes me think if they want to sell them so soon, would the pups really be better off with someone who doesn't "seem" to have their best interests at heart (though I don't know their situation personally, maybe they need to sell them now).
