Just to clarify In many many countries,even the most reputable breeders will let their pups go at 45 days old (6 weeks).
Iīve had 5 yorkies (from 4 different breeders) and got them all at 6 weeks old,a week after they weaned.This is common practice here (Spain).

None required me staying at home all day,waking up every 4 hours at night or doing anything super special as if they were "spacial care" puppies
Just making sure they eat at least 4 times a day was enough.
I do understand that in the US its practiclly mandatory,but in a place where taking a 6 week old puppy home is the norm,I just think that if it were so dangerous and complicated for a puppy to go home at that age,it wouldent be something so many countries/breeders do.They would have figured out that itīs not ok by now I think

I visited Bella and Milo every chance I had whilst they were with thier breeder,and once they weaned at 5 weeks old,they only ate damp kibble 3 times a day and slept most of the time between that.Even after they came home at 6 weeks old,they didnt eat much more than that even when I left their food out 24/7 and offered it to them alot more than that.
Itīs not that complicated
