I am a small breeder, and I love puppies. I have 2 Cockapoo Mothers, and I schedule time off from my job so I can be home for when the puppies come. They were born in the basement where I could help with the delivery and see that they all get a drink, when needed. I get to hold them when they are just days old, they get to know me, and and can snuggle their little head in my neck or on me. I think that bond is what helps make my babies turn out to be such loving good puppies. As they grow i fuss over them and they can return their love to me.
