They barely weight a couple pounds when they are 10-12 weeks old. They are barely weened at all. And it's crucial in their developmental life to be with their mom and littermates to learn things like bite inhibition (aka when you bite me OUCH that hurts me) and also how to just be a dog. Yes bonding to their owner is a good thing, but most great breeders get the new owner involved in the life of the puppy from the time they are born. Good breeders have the owner on a waiting list and the owner is able to be around the puppy plenty of times before it goes home and if they are unable to do so, the breeder themselves are socializing and home raising the pups to be around and be loved by people. Some breeders even start the potty training process for new parents. It really just depends on whether the person is breeding for the love of the breed and takes that time to really do their part and their job or if they are greedy people pushing pups out early just to make a buck and clear their kennels for more and more puppies.
