Raw Tidbit 9 - Socialization and Temperament

In this lengthy Raw Tidbit, we focus on Socialization and Temperament. Huge thanks to Jaci for recommending this topic. We explain socialization and how it should be a controlled thing for dogs. We explain some of the best and worst things that you can do when socializing a dog. After that, we feed the socialization into a discussion on proper temperament and why it is critically important for breeds. Temperament is a critical element in breed type and what makes a certain breed behave in a certain way. We extol he virtues of some breeds and how their differences are what make them great.
