Thanks Doug. We've always tried to bond our Rottie puppies as much to us during those first 8 weeks as their mom so that they would want human interaction. Because mom Juneau got a little tired of this crew fairly early :(we've had an even more intense bonding with these puppies and it shows when they meet other people. Plus, we've had the joy of Moxie -- our Juneau daughter from a previous breeding -- who adores the puppies and has worked her little nub off to give them the canine affection they need. We know there is no wrong answer with the boys. And we're anxious to be able to focus all our attention and training on just one puppy and get the other dogs in the house the kind of attention they deserve.
