These are our poodle raising employees. They don't get paid much, but they love their jobs. They are responsible for the daily handling, rotating, pushing, pulling and manipulating of the puppies. It's funny, if you start searching out puppy stuff on the web, you will come across alot of tests and manipulations ("Bio Sensor") that you can put a puppy through to help ensure you will have a "super dog" when it grows up. Things like feeling its feet, rotating it certain ways, bending and moving their heads and legs. All of these manipulations are to start at the time of birth. There are alot of studies out there that show that puppies that have been handled this way are better dogs in the end. That is fine, and I believe all that, but for me, what works, is handing them over to my three children. Give a 7 year old, a 6 year old and a 4 year old a litter of 8 puppies, and from the time they come out of the womb, they will be turned and moved and manipulated in countless directions. Nothing too scientific here. Of course, I still take the time to trim nails, run the clippers over them, and other skills they will need to know, but nothing beats the love and attention that children have to offer. In thanks for all their hard work, I think we will have to put this puppy sale money towards their college savings.
