Having had been a BYB in the past, YES I SURE WAS (my BYB operation wasn't for profit, it was 100% uneducated ignorance, I NEVER MADE A SINGLE CENT OFF THE BACKS OF MY DOGS), I can answer this. Regardless of the breed some pups will need to stay with their parents longer, it depends on the size, maturation and general health of the pups, IMHO.
Hopefully some reputable YT breeders will be around to answer this better.
