The large breed dogs need to get enough exercises every day, so please make sure that you're able to give your puppies /dogs enough exercise daily, otherwise the owner and the puppy won't have a happy life together. Please make a routine schedule for your puppies /dogs.
• Your dogs need your attention! Please make sure that your dogs receive attention as your family member. Dogs are very special, so they don't want to be alone for long periods. If you need to go somewhere for long periods, please find a good dog caregiver for your dogs to take care of them.
• Please socialize your puppy: Dogs need socialization! Please take your puppy outside to be socialized with other dogs and people after your puppy receives full vaccinations at 16 weeks old. They will need to learn socialization skills from a young age, otherwise they won't be nice enough to join with others in activities, because they will try to protect their family and themselves out of fear. You do not want your dog to act out with aggression. We highly recommend you have your dog trained by a professional if you are not capable of training yourself.
