I agree with the 12 week rule. I've experienced animals having better ability to socialize when allowed to remain with their original Pack for that length.
However, I (personally) am willing to accept one at an earlier age (8 wks minimum) but, that's because I have an established Pack, with Dogs of varying age and gender for the Pup to interface with, where a balanced socialization process can continue. I profoundly admit, that is not my preference.
