Most but maybe not all dogs when bred for show they are keep in wraps to protect the coats from damage and often restricted to cages.
They are not allowed to romp and play with other dog for fear of the other dogs ripping out the wraps along with hair.
So you can say most are restricted for about the first 2 years or until they win CH titles.
I think most agree that taking pups away from mom to early can effect development.
So just how much damage is done to the dogs natural instincts during puppyhood and early adulthood if they are not allow to developed them in that critical time peroid ?
