They are well known to be a bit difficult. There is NO such thing as a 100% trained pup ... there is always an accident here or there. ALL I want you to know is that if you are really that bothered and it will be a deal killer if the one you get is difficult, then think again.
As for taking them outside as puppies, I have taken puppies outside in my yard but I never let their feet touch the ground anywhere else and for sure never at the vet on the floor until fully vaccinated. To housetrain you always want to take them to the same spot.
I think it's great you are making sure you are getting the right breed. |
You are right about dedication. Because I am home all the time I have had a lot of time where as it might be harder to do if you work a job or are not home much. Penny is the one who is my most stubborn and has to be watched extremely well when it’s raining because she will refuse to go out and go in the house and she can be like a ninja. The puppies we have had growing up and with mine I have always taken them out in my fenced in yard before all their shots were finished but didn’t take them other places. I wanted to start on training them to go in the yard as soon as I could. In my opinion it’s fine in your own yard just I think it’s other areas like if you live in an apartment building or something with a common area used by others.
