Not many breeders have space enough to keep several puppies to 15 weeks age, amongst their own dogs. The age between 9-16 weeks, is an important age, where much effort should be put into the puppy, which will take much time for the breeder, who also have his own dogs, perhaps own puppy from the litter, and probably also an "ordinary job" to go to. . Also food and vaccinations cost much, so the price for a puppy staying 15-16 weeks, will inevitably be very high, because we must cover our own expenses. This had lead to that, that even though we get very many inquiries from abroad about puppies, we not often agree to keep a puppy for 15 weeks. This will probably develop into a problem - with higher inbreeding perfent in dogs, as not many will have the money to pay more for a puppy, and not many breeder are willing to keep puppies for so long. This is a not a good idea, if wanting to bring in new fresh blood the breed! The problem, is as far as I am concerned, the rescue dogs from shelters, that spread diseases, and unfortunately all too often come into the country with false papers of vaccinations, treatment and health condition. THAT is the problem that should be dealt with - not responsible breeders wanting to get new lines to the breed in their country.
