“Neonatal gentle touch that is respectful and feels good is how Badass Breeders lay the foundation to creating touch tolerant dogs. Ensuring that pups are not away from mom long is key. Gentle handling can be done in the whelping box with mama too. Every day, puppies are also held close to our face and heart. There is something so innate and pure at letting your souls merge as one as you melt into each other. The foundation BaB’s build is one reason why so many of us produce so many working dogs as well as reliable family companions. Ensuring all puppies know the world is safe, people are kind and dogs are friendly is so important to setting them up for success!”
