Puppies are usually and properly put up for adoption at 8 weeks. They have had enough time to learn social skills and learn from their mother, at 8 weeks they are ready to move their dependance and affection from their siblings and mother to their new owner. Although I had originally tried convincing my mother to keep the puppies for one more week until they were fully 8 weeks, by the time the 7th week rolled around we were all ready to give them up.

If you have ever adopted an new puppy, you should know that with all the excitement that comes with them also come the hectic new lifestyle that surrounds the little devil who will soon be tearing around his or her new home. Well for us we had 7 wonderful weeks with these puppies, and it was one of the most incredible experiences that I have ever had. That being said i will not lie and tell you that we didn't also experience the hectic lifestyle, in fact we had it 7 times over! Each of the puppies were special in their own way, but by the end of the 7th week, they were too much for one family to handle, 2 yes, 3 maybe, but not 6 with a 1 year old mother.
So as we said goodbye, it was sad but we knew that they were all going to amazing homes, and that we had given them the best chance to a good life.
We know that Zeus got adopted by an elder lady, which I think is perfect for the big love that he is. Tegan got adopted by my brother's best friends family, so we get to see her grow up! She looks just like her mother just a little darker and no markings on her face. They say shes a little devil. And Lacey got adopted by a very nice family who comes to the vet that I work at. I saw her at 4 months old and her ears had completely perked up and her spotted feet are very defined. The lady told me that she is one of the smartest dogs she's ever had.
