So You Think You Want a HIGH DRIVE Puppy?!
Have a look at this video of Ed & Cindy’s Puppy, Endy, at 9.5 Weeks
I can’t tell you how often I have heard people say they would like their next puppy to be a high drive dog.
My comment is usually — be careful what you wish for because it may come true.
Many people don’t know how much work it is to raise a high drive dog. The fact is most people are simply not equipped from a skill level to be able to raise a high drive dog.
Take a good hard look at Endy being Endy here. Very few people could handle a puppy like this.
In the beginning, like the first 15 minutes, it’s easy to say “ISN’T THAT CUTE.”
But what about 2 hours from now? Or what about a week of this when the puppy is still demanding 4 times the work of raising a 2 year old human?
Puppies like this require management 100% of their time. They not only need to have their physical needs met, just as importantly they require their mental needs met.
