Worried about Potty training but I have raised orphaned puppies before and that is how I am viewing her. I have also fostered and trained puppy mill rescues. Bite inhibition my guys can help with but I have had to teach it many times before. As for teeth; yes but not for that long. She will need to be fed gruel and weaned onto hard food. I am very scared for the other babies, because I am not sure if the other family's understand the effort these pups will take. She will be worth the lack of sleep and effort I am sure.
Thank all of you for your insight and support, I have never done this with a furbutt that is going to be mine (only as a foster before)
