If she is not with her mother, then how is she going to learn what she needs?? I'm so afraid that this little girl will not grow up "normal". She may and she may not. We may have a hard time with her and, then again, we may not. It's 6 in one hand and a half-dozen in the other! I'm so confused.
I'm going to try and find some posts that explain the benefits of leaving a puppy longer with its mother.
Thanks everyone. |
Oh not to worry. the puppy will learn from whatever mother is available. They all play with my puppies. mommas aunts daddies and even older siblings and my neutered male.
They learn how to be a part of the pack and have good manners, and that there are rules and a pecking order and they are at the bottom of that order.
