Janet, I think you might have just dealt with someone who has gotten a pup that wasn't properly socialized and so on. If I knew they'd be worked with until 12 weeks, I'd be fine with it... if I had any doubt about the kind of training or attention they'd be getting I'd want to get one earlier too.
A lot of damage can be done to a pup that's not handled correctly in the early stages. For the same reason you keep them, others might want to take them!
My poodle wasn't worked with and it really caused some delays once I got him.
It's a lot tougher when you're starting by UNtraining before you can properly train.
Knowing you, I'd have no concerns about your handling of a pup. Sadly, not everyone IS so consciencious!
