If you can get the breeder to keep your baby a little longer he will have a chance to learn some very important doggie social things that you would otherwise have to teach. However if the breeder is not going to allow your baby to actually BE with mommy and other littermates if he stays then I dont see the point. The purpose of 12 weeks over 8 weeks is to learn social skills from who he has been with all along. So I would want to make sure that if he stays longer that he will actually be benefiting from the stay.
