We occasionally have older pups for placement, some are pups no one has considered for adoption (not the right color, sex, eye color etc.) or one that we kept back and they did not meet one or more of our criteria for breeding or sledding. We start evaluating puppies at 6 wks to see how it interacts with its littermates and mother, but prefer to judge certain ones more at 10-12 wks and again at 4-6 months. We find at that age they resemble their adult proportions more and you can get a much better overall idea of the dog for its position in the pack and its role in our breeding program and on the sled team. We have evaluated litters at 8 wks and again at 10-12 weeks before and didn't think much of a certain puppy, adopted them out and then kicked ourselves when we saw it a few months later. Which is why some dogs are held back to see how they develop. Any that we do not keep or place locally will be listed for adoption here.
