Mary, thanks for you input. Can you explain the temperament test? Does this help you determine if a pup will make a good show prospect? Is it pretty accurate?
I have been told by some breeders that the pups need to be separated from one another so they each will gain confidence, do you advise this and if so, at what age would you keep pup separated from the others?
I know when you are growing coat it can be challenging if you leave them together and this is one of my weakness because I always let my older pups run with other dogs and they can mess up a topknot. |
