Rearing pups "naturally" (Pictures) - Page 2

A dog's paradise, wonderful for exploring and learning! Great pics, rich depth of colour and capture.

A super upbringing and exposure for the puppies.

While exposure to different environments and situations is great that has little to do with "natural" rearing. Obviously not all dogs live in the same climatic and geographic regions. The real "natural" part that is so important is to let the pups grow up together with their mother and their other close relatives both male and female in a family group for the first 4-6 months of life. Once the pups begin sexual development they are better off physically separated so that individual development will not be hindered or to prevent sexual intercourse or domination. The idea that pups are better served by being ripped apart from their mother and siblings at eight weeks is another example of human greed and folly being accepted as fact. Pups need their family just as humans do for proper psychological and mental development. The complexity and social order taught by the mother dog and the pups family of brothers and sisters as well as other relatives is difficult if not impossible to replicate in a human household for an eight week to 6 month old GSD puppy raised alone by humans.

rearing= bringing up
naturally= out in a natural environment

Obviously things can have many different meanings. Sorry if you thought this was in the literal sense, that's why I put (pictures) in the title.

Just sharing some photos of pups not looking for a hot scientific debate nor do I have time for one. admin is more than welcome to delete my post or change the title if it's really that deceiving.
