Socialization
It is extremely important to socialize your new pup, both to friends and family members as soon as possible... and with other dogs and pups as soon as allowed, after her or his innoculations are completed.
It is a delight to see pups watch older dogs carefully... taking in so much information which will help in their later development and socialization.
It's a surprising fact too that dogs will recognise their own breed [even though the particular animals have never before met] from a distance... and make a bee line for them... and in a way which is different to their approach to animals of another breed.
If you haven't experienced this first-hand before, make sure you are alert to their reactions when your pup meets 'one of its own'!
