More demands are now associated with the lead. Careful attention is paid to movement and the correct speed for the dog. The nails are kept way back. We want this puppy up on his toes. Every aspect, every detail is observed and attended to.
Nothing is overlooked.
Each contributes to the total package. No more sitting in front of the TV at night for that breeder. Now it is either road work, grooming or going to class. Proper muscling, grooming, socialization, and conditioning becomes almost a full time job. Now comes the time for puppy matches.
