Mouth?

Post by bunnyhuntah »

At what age would you start considering a dog to have mouth? 6 months? a year? or even how much experience the dog has?

Do you mean too much mouth/extra mouth? I have seen some that had too much mouth as soon as they started, some of them will calm down but others will not.

ya too much mouth. I had two of my pups out sunday and they both opened for the first time but one of them seemed to be barking way too much. I was just wondering how long to wait before making the desicion to get rid of him. I have 4 more pups out of the litter so its be expected that they all arent going to be wat im looking for.

Their first time out is way too early. I wouldn't make any decisions until around 6 months after they are started, don't rush them. Looking for the perfect dog is a losing battle, you can cull thousands of dogs and you still won't find the perfect one.
