We rescued a dog at 2 years old who thought she was my mom almost. Age has NOTHING to do with bonding. I would love for you to show me a reputable breeder who will let a pup go before 12 weeks. If you can't show one how can you be so sure there is one?

LOL.
That is virtually impossible because as you have stated MANY times, a “reputable” breeder in your opinion someone who keeps all puppies until they are 12 weeks old. Apparently, you believe that is a major corner stone into what goes into being a “reputable” yorkie breeder. Aside from the fact that I have stated the whole “reputable breeder” thing is merely a self-imposed bragging right that has more to do with the breeder then litters they produce. I simply do not care. There are far more important factors that go into being a good, ethical breeder the nitpicking over a week, long past the point when the pups are fully weaned, have begun vaccinations, and bonding with humans.
