Episode 36 - Is the Fear Genetic? Tough Decisions about Keeper Puppies

12/9/2025

0 Comments

This episode's question is about what to do when your “keeper” puppy starts showing significant fear issues:

"I’m really sad about my situation. I don’t want this to reflect poorly on my small breeding program that I’ve poured so much time, thought, stress, money, and emotional energy into ... my keeper puppy is now showing pretty significant fear issues. I was hoping to keep this puppy and eventually use her in my program.

My biggest concern is that this is genetic fear and she will not outgrow/overcome it. This is depressing me quite honestly, and I’m feeling very deer-in-the-headlights about how to move forward."
