Socialization 05/07/2010
 
I'm sure I didn't know what this meant before now.

I have heard breeders say that their dogs were socialized with the parents and other pets. I thought "Oh, that's good..." but I had no idea what that really meant. As a pet parent I did the research to help integrate my newbie into the mix. I never gave their previous experiences a lot of thought. After seeing it with my own eyes--I won't soon forget what an eye-opening time it's been for me to see the pups, parents, our other pets all adjusting and finding their places.
I hear from our new puppy parents that these little ones have done SO WELL and submitted to the other dogs in their new families. Bosco really knows what she's doing! I never seem to run out of amazement for the Bergamasco Breed!
