I am going by articles I have read by animal behaviorists and such that shows it is better for puppies to stay with there moms until 12 even sometimes with bigger breeds but smaller breeds mature and grow slower then larger breeds. Vets can not know every breed and what is best for every breed in fact vets don't always know that much about reproduction besides the basics unless they chose that as a specialty. I have been told by a vet that the breed club and breeders know what is best by there breed then he does.
