contracts are only as good as the people who sign them...common sense rules all...I have raised orphaned puppies who had no mother or littermates and they were sensible, stable dogs...sometimes I think that 8 week rule is just silly...grump usually have the pups well weaned by that time and once...
I used to supplement young puppies with goat milk...easy on the digestion...and they gained well on it...at this pup's age you need to soak and soften his food 50/50 warm water and goat milk...worked for me...
