I do not think they get independent puppy assessments in the US. From what I have experienced, but I can be wrong, the breeder comes up with a price. Some also use the Pat Hastings method. And most pups are evaluated at 8 weeks.
I know from experience, I have seen a puppy from two weeks old. The breeder sent many pictures to me. I fell in love with the pup. Turned out she was on the top end of what she said the pup would be. The pup was going to be a pet. She gave me a price that would be more show quality, from what I researched, this pup was not. It was just too much for me to spend. Sad...so again I wait.
