Socialization of a puppy

The socialization of a puppy is a very important subject for us. We try to expose the puppies to a variety of sights & sounds to allow them to get used to as many things as possible. We leave our children with the puppies as much as possible so that they are used to children. We strive to prepare let the puppies for the outside world in a protected environment. Good socialization is an important for sport puppies.

This does not alter the fact that, after the puppy has left us, there is still a lot of work to be done by the new owner. It is very important for the puppy to continue being exposed to as many strange places as possible during the first few months. In short, let the puppy see as much as possible, but use your common sense. By investing extra time in the new puppy in the beginning, this puppy gets a very good foundation.
