I've always been curious - the potential difficulties of sending a pup to a home too early have been well researched, documented, understood, and discussed, but I've not in my studies seen any information about when it's 'late' to send a puppy to his family.
Is there any advantage / disadvantages to say keeping a puppy past the 10 or 12 weeks. Would keeping a puppy till he's 4, 5 or 6 months old affect his bonding with his family? Would it be advantageous as a breeder to keep the puppy ... oh say till he/she's finished her first "Puppy Obedience Classes"?
No particular reason for asking - I'm really just vary curious about this developmental stage - and I've not seen a lot of information on keeping a puppy longer.
