Anyway, 8 weeks is the minimum age pups should leave for new homes.
From weeks 4-8, puppies will learn about pack heirarchy, bite inhibition and proper social behavior within the pack. Taking a puppy home before 7-1/2 to 8 weeks of age really deprives the puppy of much needed training by mom and littermates and will make your job of training much more difficult.

uhhh.. talking from my own past experience?
I m not here to make a debate but I m just sharing my past experience as thats what the OP asked for.
some may call it "training" but having owned 2 pups at 6 weeks old and comparing it to the 3rd puppy i got at 10 weeks. the first 2 was much more responsive and easy to command. also their much more clingy and caring.
and the 3 pups were owned at different times.
of course just my personal opinion.
