From everything that I've read, dogs have a 10 hour kind of memory span where they can harp on one thing. After that, it is not something that they think about all the time. There ARE things that can happen that will remind them of their old owner or whatever. A lot of times dogs that have serious problems with being rehomed or whatever don't necessarily think about their owner and miss them so much as the fact that they just don't like being in new situations and the sudden lifestyle change freaks them out.
To the OP: Your babies are SO precious!! I am totally and completly in love.
I'm not sure what the above conversation is all about, but parents should without a doubt be tested before being bred. Don't wait until a puppy gets sick and dies (and breaks an owner's heart) to do the responsible thing. It really is worth the couple hundred dollars it may cost to have them tested to ensure that there aren't any awful genetic illnesses being passed down the lines.
and this is OT: As far as the blood being drawn from the juggular vein, Tucker went in to have a cyst thing looked at, and they took some blood from there. Tucker was perfect, but I passed out lol.
