Each extra week the breeder keeps the pups, cost them more money..shots, food..but more then that, the work of cleaning, grooming..mom is done and many breeders want them gone. Some have more litters coming, younger litters who need attention and space is a factor. There are dozens of reasons..some are in need of funds to pay the rent. I would not buy from a breeder who needs to sell pups to pay bills..it will all hit the fan in due time.
Size is important also...I perfer not to place anything under 1 1/2 pounds, no matter the age..most pet owners do not know how to care for a tiny one pound animal, it makes me worry!!!.....breeder must begin housetraining and lots of socilizing..and many breeders do not have the time or space or patience.
