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 8-10 weeks is best, longer for some breeds but also, alot of states, such as my own (NH) have laws. Here, dogs cant be transferred before 8 weeks of age. Personally, if I had a "breeder" offering me a pup before 8 weeks of age, I'd be running the other way. For me, that's a big ole red flag
