She has picked one female pup to roll around, growl at, bite at and aggrevate. The puppie doesnt seem to mind, but the mom is relentless. It's only this one puppy that she will even interact with and I'm afraid she will hurt the puppy. Mom nurses the puppies about 3 or 4 times a day for about 2 minutes and then picks on this one puppy.
I don't know what to do. Should I stop the behavior by removing the puppy, or just let the mom bother her endlessly? Any suggestions?
