The CWCCA Code of Ethics says puppies should not be placed prior to seven weeks. When this was put into effect it was probably during the time frame when many believed the optimum time for human/puppy bonding was at seven weeks. So someone placing at 8 weeks is acting in accordance with the CWCCA CoE. Having said that, usually the time frame for most Breeders to place puppies is between 10 and 12 weeks. Those extra few weeks make a big difference in bite inhibition, adjustment skills and all kinds of ways.
As an aside, the PWCCA just changed its Code of Ethics to say puppies should not be placed earlier than 10 weeks.
