I was not initiating a "I know more" argument.....the comment was I probably know more breeders...not that I have more knowledge.....but when you breed, you become involved in a community of fellow breeders....you get to know people who do the things you do....I am sure there is some activity you are involved in where you know more people involved in the same activity than I do. For instance, as a lawyer, I probably know more lawyers than anyone on the group...it is just a matter of groupies so to speak....not trying to say I am more knowledgeable on any subject.
And yes, we must agree to disagree, because I think you put way to much credit on a dogs ability to adjust or bounce back.....it is not as easy on them as many humans like to think. And if someone is gonna abuse, neglect or abandon a dog, then rather they leave the litter at 5 weeks or 5 months is not gonna make a difference to them...they are gonna be cruel to a dog no matter what..... And, the "old way" is 6 weeks...definitely not acceptable among any ethical breeder anymore. In fact, in most states, not even acceptable in the eyes of the law.
