How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With - by Clarice Rutherford et Davis H. Neil
This is, in my opinion, the best book about how to raise puppies. I personaly used it with all my litters and follow it's methods and develop my own ways of waking up, socializing and giving confidence to the puppies for the precious 2 months they live with us. This is the best way to prepare the puppies for their new owners. I encourage everyone to read that book and apply it's techiques with your puppies
