Please let your gal lead you on when she is ready for other dogs to be near her babies. Even in the wild mom's keep their pups apart until they are able to walk. |
I can not express how strongly I agree here.
I'm not saying they cant stay together...
But boy are you taking a chance.
My girls wont even let other girls around their puppies
and I know I've read right on Yorkie Talk of people coming home and finding dead puppies from this.
One being a little singleton not to long ago, after fighting to keep it alive.
Its just not worth the chance.
They can be loving later
