About the time I think I'm exhausting giving three pups all the attention I think is important to their socialization I hear of someone with 10+ pups (from multiple litters). I think one has to know their limit and provide each pup with as much one-on-one time. If one can effectively do that for three or ten, it is they that know. But at first glance I, as a buyer, would mostly choose from the small litter breeder than the large (with all other things being equal in the pup) just because I don't believe the one with so many running around could possibly be adequately caring for them.
I take mine daily (5 days/wk) for car rides, one day (alternating days) a week just one pup comes to work with me for more individualized time (queen/king for the day sort of thing), etc., etc. It'd be hard for one person with 10+ pups to do that consistently and frequently I think. |
I respect everything you do for your dogs
but they sound more like pets than show dogs. When I purchase a dog I really want to see what goes on in the Breeders Kennel and their Lineage. How much does the Breeder know about the lines and how far back can she go with HER lines. I got my show dogs when they turned 6 months old. To me thats perfect. Bottom line, I know what I am getting.
