Hello again, followers! SO happy to have another chat with you!!
Today I am going to talk about the strong personalities we are beginning to see in these dogs, even at very young ages!
I am continually amazed each time a 3-4 week old pup starts hinting at what kind of dog it will be once fully grown. 3-4 weeks?? Surely that is too young an age to distinguish any sort of personality! Shocking as it may sound, it is true!
From the beginning, you can start to see if the puppy will be spunky, or a bit more docile! The ones that always come chasing your finger when you wag it in front of them often are forecasting that they will have a slightly more intense drive! For the ones that always pad up to you and push themselves into your lap, you can rightly assume they will likely be a more laid back dog.
There are tubby pups, ones that always hog all the food, then slimmer ones, not nearly as interested in it. These habits usually stick throughout their lives, and there are pros and cons to each. Some dogs are driven by food, making the best training method thereby, food, being the biggest motivator for them! The ones that are not as food driven are usually that way because they are motivated by toys or a ball instead. Therefore, you would use these prompts as your core training method!
Below are some pictures of pups that we have sent to their new, forever homes:
I am always glad that there are so many different kinds of dogs, because there are many different kinds of people! Each and every one of you can pick out the puppy that will best fit YOU and your family, and YOU will be the best thing that we could ever have asked for our puppies.
