Early Puppy Development

The World of early puppy development is simply fascinating.

Like most things, there are lots of opinions (some conflicting) and the effort to reconcile all that information can be daunting. But there are some things that are agreed upon.

Success in a dog’s life is directly affected by the first 12 weeks of life.

We began discussing this in my last post (here) and will probably continue for a looooong while, since there is simply so.much.to.cover.

While what people are looking for in a dog varies, there are a few universal things that EVERY dog owner wants:

a happy, obedient dog
As few messes in the house as possible
An affectionate dog  that the owner can trust to not be overly aggressive

Our goal is to send our new forever families home with a Kindred Pup that is ready for you. Ready to leave its mama. Comfortable in new surroundings with new people. Started on house training for fewer messes.

A puppy is a big commitment, but oh such a reward!

We were all crushing on this sweet compilation video (not made by us) of labrador retrievers. Watch at your own risk! 😉
