Congrats on your soon to be lil Biewer baby boy, he isjust adorable. That other breeder seemed a bit shady saying that mixed puppy was a Biewer.
The reason it it is best to have the baby stay with the momma and litter mates is, momma teaches her babies what is appropriate PLAY biting is, she will correct her puppies if they bite hard, she teaches social skills, you get a calmer puppy. There are many states that allow puppies to be sold at 8 weeks, but for the well being of all puppies it is better for the puppies social skills to stay with the momma and litter mates until they are 13 weeks old. I have had nothing but 8 week old puppies, that was before I knew better, and let me tell you, these kids were WILD indians, I use to call training them "humanizing" them, that's what the momma teaches them when they stay with her for 13 weeks old. I am sure Lovetodream will add more to this and make it clearer why it is best the puppy stays with the momma until 13 weeks old.
