Coco Izzy's litter

Litter update on 16 May •…Everyone's talking about "temperament testing." But here's the truth: real temperament in our puppies isn't measured. It's molded. Puppies don't become confident, social, or adaptable overnight. They become that way through dozens of intentional interactions: Hands on work, exposure to new sounds, handling exercises, play with boundaries, car rides, crates, new places, new people... That's what builds a resilient temperament. At Choice Paws, we don't just check boxes. We put in the time. Because shaping temperament isn't about a scorecard-it's about a commitment. Follow to see the Choice Paws Difference.
