Would also like to say, this is why you can not always rely on "scientific evidence." Most people can find data to support their side of the issue. For example, when my son was a baby and I was desperate for him to sleep through the night, my pediatrician said "let him cry out." After research I found a lot of data for crying it out and a lot against crying it out. All from well respected pediatricians. So instead, I listen to who I respect and know to be well respected in the community and what I FEEL is best for me. I have a lot of respect and know many reputable breeders here on YT and will follow their advice and knowledge from their many years of experience. I also know a well respected, reputable Shih Tzu breeder who also feels 12 weeks is best for her pups. For those reasons, not the "scientific evidence" being thrown around, I feel 12 weeks is a better age for puppies to go to their new homes. |
Science isnt 100% certainty but it is logical fallacy to use that as evidence to ignore it.
So far the keep them until 12-14 weeks side of this debate is seriously lacking in academic support.
"feeling" something is correct is 100% less reliable at getting to the truth than properly conducted and peer reviewed science.
