i know i did the same thing this person probably is doing by wanting to raise a puppy from the beginning and teach it all my own personal ways. i'm glad we got Sadie as a pup and did bring her up well, someone was home almost all the time and still is. BUT...i think unless you are well prepared for a lot of MONEY to go bye-bye and until you are prepared for a lot of work, you should either NOT get a dog at all, or get a grown up rescue dog from a shelter that is ready to go to a new family. |
