Some puppies are more playful and outgoing than others, and what you may see in the short time you share with the litter may not be a fair indicator of their behavior. It has been our experience that a lively, eager dog tends to respond better to training than a lethargic and slow dog. On the other hand, an extremely dominant dog will not take well to formal training because of its reluctance to accept anyone as its leader. It is a good idea to handle all the pups in the litter, just to see which ones seem to want you and appear content when being handled. Aside from any of these variables, the most important factor to how your pup will mature is the way you raise it.
Proper socialization is vital to a well-adjusted dog.
If your dog is introduced to a wide range of positive situations as a youngster, it will develop a healthy attitude for new things. Introduce your pup to other dogs, as long as you know the other dogs are disease-free and will not act aggressively toward the little one. Puppies can be annoying to older dogs, so please keep the meet and greets supervised. Balance the pup's time with you with time spent alone to help build confidence and independence. The most important thing is to develop a bond of love and trust with your little friend.
