I have heard this also, and here is what I keep wondering....What about the single litter puppies??? Like my Uno??? I'm so stressed out about this...I want to make sure I'm doing everything right, but since he never had those litter mates to play with he sometimes gives me a funny look when I give the "puppy yelp"... He gets into his trance and his eyes become a bit bloodshot at times, and he growls, and i TRY to redirect to another toy and he continues to just search for my hands. Just a moment ago I figured he was acting up because he had to go potty. We go outside and as I'm holding him he bit my thumb, but not just any bite, his sharp canine went in between my thumbnail and he bit down...YOWWWW!!!!!!!!!! I feel like throwing a bit of a tantrum myself after all this
