I will be covering this exciting time in multiple blogs.  Please keep coming back to see the latest and greatest!

In the early days of his life, your puppy's whole world consisted of his dam's quiet, nurturing warmth and the close comfort of his littermates.  As his eyes opened and his hearing developed at 2 to 3 weeks, his world and his experience began to broaden--he learned to get his tiny legs under him, and he began to wrestle with his brothers and sisters.
