From my experience, each momma is different. I have had some mommas that insisted on sleeping with their pups until they were 10 or 12 weeks old and other mommas would start choosing to sleep in the living room when the pups were a bit younger. I always let the momma decide. I always have my puppy room setup where the momma can get away from the pups if she wants to. I would think by now you could leave the momma away from them at night but be sure to leave down some food for the pups. I always leave down the ground up dry food so they can eat when they are hungry. |
