As for watching the babies grow up, I am probably going to decide between the little male or female today so I can get my deposit put down. I might change my mind down the road, but at least I'll be guaranteed a puppy. I don't want to end up losing all of them! D: |
I have heard of puppy mill dogs who were afraid of humans because of abuse, who did come out of their fear of humans with a lot of time and patience. So I don't know if you can really say that all shy dog will always be shy. But I just thought I would tell you about my Teddy Bear so you can maybe avoid a situation like I have with him. I said I wouldn't change anything about him but I do wish I could change his fear of everything. His sweet personality and cute mannerisms I would not change.
Good luck and I can't wait to hear which one you choose and see those pictures.
