Hi there,

My little girl Bella was born on feb 19th. When she was three weeks old, my boyfriend & I put a deposit on her and discussed when the puppy would be ready to come home. 8 weeks was agreed on if she was eating properly. Last sat morning I received an email telling me that my pup was ready to come home and we could pick her up ASAP. Mind you, our puppy was only turning five weeks on Sunday. After several emails back & forth, we decided just to pick her up before they took our deposit and gave our pup to someone else.. I was told that ours was the only one left because the others had all went home w/they're new owners. We suspect that they had motives for wanting the pups gone so fast..

So I've had Bella for just over four days now & she's a great puppy. Eating soft food, drinking formula, and chewing on hard food cause of her teething.. But she's unbelievably feisty. Energetic of course but rambunctious as ever. Constantly biting (which I know is her teething) but its all the time, constant. Like she kinda doesn't like affection or anyone..idk. I'm worried. I know some puppies can have temperament problems when taken from the mother to early & that's what I'm worried about. We do have a four year old boxer who has been great w/her and we're hoping that she can learn lots from her. I'm just wondering if they go threw changes in they're personality? At what age can I expect her to calm down some... This is quite excessive. She's on a schedule where she sleeps about every 2-3 hours for a couple hours but when she wakes up, she's a feisty little terror as my boyfriend would call her..until she falls asleep again. If anyone has experienced this before, I would much appreciate any & all advice. Thanks to all :-)
