Yes! I want that puppy time and don't want to miss out on a week that I don't absolutely have to! Just like if I was adopting a baby I'd want it as a newborn rather than a toddler.
I don't believe a puppy is "healthier" at 12 weeks than it is at 8 weeks. The puppy is healthy or it is not. It may be bigger, stronger, but not healthier.
And yes again... I want to be the one to train my puppy, not the breeder. I'd rather not have to correct other's training to suit me. I'd prefer to start the pup out as we mean to go on in my home. By the time you'd expect to get your puppy, I'd expect mine to be completely house broken.
