I am not an expert, but I think if you can make sure they are eating often enough, you can usually avoid hypoglycemia. My Cali was 1 lb when I got her at 9 weeks and she had several attacks. The first a few days after I got her and I almost lost her. She was a terrible eater and until I found a food she would eat regularly I had to watch her very carefully. I fed her every 2-3 hours the first few weeks and then every 3-4 hours. She had her last attack at 8 months. She is now 5 1/2 lbs and 5 years old. She was a poorly bred puppy so I know that contributed to it. Hopefully others will respond and have more information for you. It sounds like your Breeder is being very careful before releasing her. So hopefully you will not have any problems.
