I would think that temperament and personality is important in choosing a working dog so I would imagine they would need to be at least 10 week to tell much about their personalities. |
I prelim'd a pick at 6 wks, then waited until after temperament test was done, went back out to breeder's, at 7+ wks, watched pups again, reviewed results of temperament tests. At eight wks I made my selection and took my boy home. Temperament and personality is very important in working dogs equally to structure!. It's what I call the the holy trinity. LoL.
But this was for a large breed dog.
