im told that since sally has been doing more and the old man has been taking a bit of a back seat, she has been putting more time in with the pups, especially those which are unsold for a while. this is just what im told, i havent been there for many years

From what I saw there is very little socialising done, in fact they don't like you to get in with the pups when you go to see the litters at all,

In the litter I had my pup from there were 2 that I wouldn't have touched with a bargepole, one of which was the pup I originally picked. Even at 8 weeks I couldn't get them within 10 feet of me, they just cowered in the corner of the stall. The old man said they would come round within a few hours of being taken and I guess he knows a lot more than me but I wouldn't take the chance.

He wont let them go until 8 weeks he told me its illegal? Anyway got mine at 10 weeks. He even told me that hes got so many they dont get much human contact

A mate of mine fetched his at 6 weeks. If you put your foot down he will let you take one before he loses the sale.

 

10 weeks is far too long to have been locked in a pen without seeing the world in my opinion.

Your right mate. Your best off taking the fuker when its born!

I agree mate, I wouldn't touch one more than 8 weeks old.

Having said all that though, mine has been great. I'd been told of collies being sensative but nothing has fazed him so far, his only quirk seems to be that if he sees anything unusual he gives out a couple of quiet wuffs, though even that is easing off now. He's had a couple of bollockings and alls forgotten 30 secs later so I don't have to tread on eggshells round him either

The fact that he tattoos their ears makes a lot of them shy in my opinion.

It must frighten them to death. No wonder they are suspicious of people.

It's pointless anyway, you can't make out the tattoo number after a while.

Good point that

[sawyer 94]

Yea it is a good point. Something i never thought of. A bet theres hell on trying to do that to the pups!

It’s all about socialisation and breeding, if the only experience is a bad one and a sensitive breed. Greyhound pups tattooed with no ill effects and good home breeders dew claw their lurcher pups again without turning the pups nervy. Nervy dogs breed nevry pups

I don't think that's the case I bred of a nervy bitch an all the pups were forward not a nerve in them.

You were lucky, maybe she was made nervous, nurture, rather than having a genetic nervousness or maybe the pups took after the sire, and other non nervous ancestors.
