I brought Lilly and Ollie home on the same day (different breeders). Lilly was exactly 17 weeks old and Ollie was 7 weeks old. Lilly is so much better behaved, she knows alot of social things that Ollie is completely unaware of. Like biting and barking and chewing. Lilly does none of that, and we're having a devil of a time teaching Ollie how to behave properly. I firmly believe it's because Lilly spent much longer with her mother and siblings learning how to behave. Lilly also has been easier to potty train and I think alot of it is because she's older and she's learned to hold her peepee longer. Her bladder is stronger. Ollie basically just goes whenever and wherever he is at the time the urge hits him. Not his fault, he's just a baby.
But if I were choosing, I would definitely wait until they were older. They really don't start developing their own little individual personalities until that age anyway I don't think. |
