Thanks for reading and for all the answers and the patience in all my questions  |
I love his name.
7-8 weeks is young. Any puppy that I have ever gotten it has been around that age (one was 5 wks!). It's just that up to 12 weeks they are still babies. They need alot of attention & care. They should not be crated & left alone all day.
It sounds like you are very aware of him and his needs, that's excellent. How often are you feeding him? If he's gobbling his food maybe he needs more frequent, smaller feedings. At 5 weeks our 2 are getting fed 4x a day plus whatever they can get from Sunnie. At 10-12 I'll take them down to 3x plus a couple of snacks.
Hope this helps.
