“We take great care in placing our puppies with families. Once they are old enough for their temperaments to be evaluated. Then they are placed according usually between 8 and 10 weeks because they are small breeds we like to make sure that they are healthy and able to stabilize and maintain their blood sugar as running around and playing can deplete that in the younger smaller breeds.”
