The general drift of this pup being too young, is my opinion also. It isn't just the learning this pup needs to do with its mom and litter mates, but also is has just gone through weaning.
I find with my puppies the weaning process puts stress on them. Add the stress of vaccinations, a new world to explore plus a new home and being away from what it is familiar with , will bring on a lot of very scary problems such as hypoglycemia, things like coccidia can become prevalent and a problem, digestive upsets just because there was too much put onto the pup at too young an age. All that can run very high Vet bills and/or death.
And yes, once completely weaned that's when puppies are the most work for the breeder and the most messes to clean up. You really do not want to buy from a breeder that would sell that young.
