My very worse adult was a 3 pound spayed female..KC hated puppies once they started walking..
When they are weaned, I had play time with me in the room...some males used to flip them over to check them out..none acted mean, but more like a rough big brother at times...by 12 weeks I rarely had to be concerned, they were family...but I never penned them together with other adults..and would spritze them with Bitter Apple if any adults was to rough..they were so funny. They walk a big circle around any spritzed puppies...alot depends on her size..right now she looks like she may be small..her muzzle is short also. |
I wouldn't leave them alone... but eventually I will have to. We are keeping Scout. That is why I want to make sure they are somewhat familiar with each other. Dad is 7lbs so I wouldn't have him around much until Scout is much much bigger. Mom is 5lbs and we are hoping Scout will be somewhere in the middle. It will be a long time before all three dogs will get to be together, but I want them to be one big happy family with us.
