Im not sure what the benefit of the 10 week rule is really. Why 10 weeks? I agree a puppy should never leave their mother sooner then 8 weeks, preferably 10-12 weeks minimum stay but 8 weeks is legal in states who do have puppy age laws.
I guess Im just confused how that helps in the for sale thread? I could see a rule against advertising unborn puppies or any puppy under 8 weeks even, but I just dont under 10 weeks. I guess Im missing the point, or the reasoning.
I have used the for sale forum a few times, but it hasnt been common for me. SO its not that.
Unless you are a very frequent poster, alot of people wouldnt know to look in the nursery. If someone posts a puppy that will be available for a home at 6 weeks, doesnt mean they are releasing then. I like looking at the for sale threads, I thought it was fun to see puppies growing and knowing they are available early. Im not in the market to buy a puppy just like looking.
Just curious about the new rule and how 10 weeks came about and just wondered if someone could clarify the reasoning? |
