I purchased a Doberman several yrs. ago at 4 wks old. She had a German Pedagree 3ft long (not joking) and both her parents were show dogs. She was a great dog that lived to be 14 yrs old. Never any problems. WOW guess I was lucky. Right now I have 2 adopted and 2 strays that I took in besides my Yorkie, Min Pin and Lab. Yes 7. I love them all. Never thought about them learning from their litter mates. Wonder if "ONE BAD APPLE" could apply here???? Oh well still love all of mine and will forever! I'm sure my other dogs are already in the process of teaching my pup some bad habits...
