I joined FB for the first time last year for the sole purpose of watching my puppy grow, provided by a live feed camera set up by the breeder in a private FB group. It was really cool watching the pups mature and that whole process, including how the breeder and her son would go in and handle them all, make loud distracting noises and other techniques to socialize the pups, etc. And as all the owners finally brought their pups home, we all kept in contact and shared notes about how all the litter mates were progressing. It was really cool for awhile . . . until some of these people started showing their uglier sides, and now I drop in briefly maybe just a couple times a month and keep my friggin distance.
