all pups are going to take alot of your time up, but if they are shy or bit nervy to start with, it just make it that bit harder to get the best out of them, where as a bold pup will take all things in it stride. And regards handling pups, i think as soon as they can see +get about you (want) to handle them, not just the owner.! get kids + other members of the family handle them, they need as much (socialisation) as they can get it will make them well rounded dogs when mature .!!
thanks for reply pal
