I totally agree with this, I posted something yesterday to this effect. I got Wookie
at 9 weeks and I he has some issues now that I think were due to him being taken away from his mother too early. I think he missed out on some of that key socialization and learning they get from their mother and siblings. He is a very insecure little boy now.
