8 week old pups? Your thoughts?

I see lots of people posting about bringing their pups home at 8 weeks of age or earlier in some cases.

I just wanted to see what everyones' opinions are about this. Personally, I don't feel like pups should leave the litter earlier than 10 weeks if possible. Ijust feel there are so many less health and behavioural problems this way. Sure you miss a little bit of the "tiny puppy stage" but to me it has been totally worth it.

What about everyone else?

I think the puppy and the mother dog should not be separated until it's 1 year old. Just to stay the puppy healthy.

Hmm... do you have any reason to support this? I find this to be a very uncommon claim.. I'm interested in hearing more of your opinion.
