I strongly agree with Mary (Mardelin) about not withholding water or food. She has extensive experience with this breed. Water is crucial for every cell in the body to function correctly, whether you are talking dogs or humans. No matter how much the pup drinks during the day, they can dehydrate quickly.
A lot of trainers advocate withholding water/food to aid in potty training. Most of them have little knowledge of small breed dogs. |
