Well, as I said, there are 2 sides to most every story.
From Gwen Bailey's The Perfect Puppy: "Current thinking is that about six weeks of age is old enough to have learned quite a lot about life in the litter and that time after this is better spent learning to be part of a human family. Do not take a puppy that is older than eight weeks unless you know for certain that it has already been well-socialized with humans..."
I'm not saying that I agree with this. Joey was 10 weeks old when I adopted him and he's a wonderful puppy! What I'm saying is that there are no hard and fast rights and wrongs in this. There are only varying schools of thought.
Let's not judge each other for our choices. Instead, let's support each other whether we agree with another's choices or not. |
