I have to say that Yt'ers are some of the best detectives around.

And it is Dr Carmen not Carmelo Battaglia... LOL - not that I think this Suncera person will be going to any lectures anytime soon....

My large breed puppies don't go to homes until 10wks old - by then they usually weigh about 15-25 lbs. (smiles) or about 2-3 yorkies..... They have been temperament tested (twice), evaluated, and have learnt pack dynamics. They have been introduced to collars and walking on lead. They have started sit, and come.
They have been groomed numerous times, have had their nails trimmed, baths, grooming, including clippering, scissors, brush and comb, and hair dryer. Have been exposed multiple times to all the sights, sounds, and smell of a busy household.
