What is a started pup?? Well pups are still babies and have much to learn..but can *begin* at a young age. So I start with house manners, /potty training, crate, kennel trained, rides in the car, hikes, boat and camping trips.. Socializing all the way... Of course puppies love it.
I also do imprinting and have fun . its learning exercise to the young mind and mine too! Pups have exposure to all types of weather and surfaces.. exposure to noises such as machinery, and gunfire. Familiarity with simple terms like here, sit , wait, stay off, is eeeaasy :) All pups have been raised around children, cows, horses and other dogs.
Bright pups WANT to do things with owners and are engaging and asking for interatction. Sherman-Ranch German Shepherds have beautiful expsression, nice pigment, nice couple, strong back and excellent stamina. Highly scent motivated, natural retrieve drive, likes tug of war and shows good herding and prey bevaviors...He is not gun shy or easily rattled... solid nerves. and a steady social behavior.
