I contacted my breeder yesterday and we have a little girl. She was thinking two puppies but its only one. My question is about singleton puppies. How are singleton puppy socialized? Are their personalities different because they don't have any litter mates? I read somewhere that they may be larger which doesn't bother me. I never wanted a tiny. I just want her to be breed standard. Are there any health issues with having only a singleton? My breeder saids she is newborn and she appears to be healthy. At want age are puppies evaluated by the vet? Is there a critical period after birth that I should be concerned with? Sorry for my rambling. I am just so thrilled and anxious!
