Wow, I'm a breeder and I have to jump in. Some of my puppies still are nursing at 7-10 weeks. Sometimes the weaning from mom and eating puppy food is a difficult stage/transition for some puppies. Sometimes, a puppy has a reaction to the first puppy shot (I don't remember if you mentioned, the puppy would have it's first shot yet). I don't let the puppies have their first shot and be going through weaning at the same time.
I know you feel committed to this puppy, and many of the folks here on YT had successes taking a puppy home that was too young, but an open contract and a few other things you said about this breeder makes me think that in the next few weeks you will be paying a lot more money for your puppy in vet bills. I think this gbreeder sells them too young so she can just send them out the door, she isn't investing in the pups or in the breed--she is just looking to make money off the innocent buyers and the innocent puppy. JMHO
Welcome to YT.
