I worked them up to this. I socialized them slowly at first. Then over time they would start crawling to another person once they offered their hand. Saturday morning no one is hiding. They are all out and looking to see if I am going to take them out. Even the BPs are ready. I don't think they look forward to it but they expect the routine. If one shows signs of stress I respect that and either don't take them or if stress developed while in the store I put it away and not let anyone handle them. Sunday and Monday I handle the least. That way they can rest up and decompress after a busy day being passed around. The only 2 who have ever missed a meal is Bob and Shiva the 2 BPs who went off food 3 weeks ago. Both of them at the same time. They are both healthy and were looking a little chunky so is not surprising they are thinking about breeding over eating.

I am happy to answer any questions you might have.
