Born Hunter 17,751 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I like to see pups at 3-4 month, you have a much better idea of the stamp of the final product. It's a shame breeders don't habitually keep them back that extra month imo. That dog pup is a cracking strong thing! I actually wish I had the work for him. Quote Link to post

Jesus you couldn't keep them till 4 months,you wouldn't have a towel or a bed sheet left on the line ,not a trousers to wear,and the meat they eat is unreal,plus I think one on one bonding should take place as early as possible 2 Quote Link to post

No, I get that jig. LOL. I'm just saying I personally would be more drawn to that pup at 3-4 months of age than I would a 7-8 week old litter. I personally don't think those 3rd and 4th months make any difference to the human bond but I think it'd do pups heaps of good to be around their kind for longer. Quote Link to post
jigsaw 11,863 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I don't think there'll be much variation between them,they were like peas in a pod,one or two a bit smaller than the rest ,and to be honest I it was a great experience but it was an even greater experience to see them leave lol 2 Quote Link to post

The next week I brought her to a lad selling 2 month old pups and she picked one. She told me she would never get another pup over 9 weeks old again as the bond she has with this one now is so much more. And it’s just 4 months nowI personally wouldn’t take a pup that was older then 9/10 either. Just an example bud. I have no doubt there are hundreds of similar anecdotes mate. I still don't believe it makes a difference. Good to hear she is getting on well with her pup all the same. 2 Quote Link to post
