Can a bottle fed puppy be a good working dog?

Full Question:
Cindy,



I have bought many....many of the videos you and Ed have made and love them. Thanks!



How do you think hand feeding a litter of puppies affect their working abilities? If a litter was bottlefed, is the litter more or less likely to be good working dogs? What are the pros and cons. What should a potential owner look for or be concerned about?



Thanks,
Gail
Cindy
Cindy Cindy's Answer:
If the puppies still have interaction with littermates and their mother, I would not think it would adversely affect their working ability.



If they do not, you run the risk of a dog that doesn’t learn how to properly interact with other dogs. They learn so much from their mom and their littermates.
