I usually don't let my pups go till at least 8 weeks , but I will let them go at 7 weeks if I feel comfortable enough to let them go 1 week early .. most of the time 8 week is the magic number. also making sure they are eating well..and so on

The best dog I ever owned and ever knew spent the first 16 weeks with his mother after the other puppies were sold off at 8 weeks. Then, from what I understand there was very little human interaction. Good luck finding someone who will do that for you.
Lead em if they're running.

California state law saws 8 weeks minimum. I suppose they have a reason for that. I have bought one that was a day short of 6 weeks, and I still have her she's a great lab with a master hunter title.
A smart dog will bring 2 beverages to save a trip to the fridge!
