| Ok together - 5 and 7 week old pups? Hi, i have 2 little 5 week old Yorkie girls and a 7 week old little girl. the 5 week old girls have had to be hand reared at 4 weeks as the mums milk dried up. the 7 week old girl is completely weaned and eating just fine. Tonight the 7 week old girl went into the 5 week old girls crate, sniffed them, played with them a bit and then fell alseep with them. Do you think its ok to leave them together? The younger pups seemed to perk up abit, as mum just does not want to know. Not sure wat to do? Pls, need some advise. Shall i leave them together? thanks |

| I think they would do just fine. I have mixed older pups with younger ones on several occasions. The main thing is to see how they interact and as long as there is not a huge size difference and the older puppy is being gentle then they should do well together. |

| I agree, 5 and 7 week old pups are way too young to intentionally hurt each other, but if there is a huge size difference one can hurt another accidentally. |

| Together Pups! Hi, thanks for your replies. I have been watching them, and the older pup is gentle with them, she does try to play with them,then realises that they are small, im sure she does! But so far so good, they all seem to be getting on just fine, and your comments have assured me to keep them together, Thanks again. x |
