| Single puppy I am looking into purchasing a particular 11 wk. old puppy. This male puppy is the sole surviving puppy of the birth. My question here is what might be the outcome of him not having the opportunity to share the interactions of other litter mates? Also I already have a 2yr. old female and with him spending his entire life with only his mother will he treat my female as his mother? Would this whole experience end up good or bad? |

The possibility of his adopting your female as his mother during his puppy stage exists, but will gradually go away as he gets older. When I have pups, and introducing them to other dogs in my house, I usually only allow my females with them. I do this to not have a pup's self confidence be hurt. Males tend to be a bit more assertive. All should be fine, if you feel comfortable with the breeder, developed a relationship and know that she will be there for you. Are you comfortable with the breeder's contract. In other words you buy your breeder first and your pup 2nd. The transaction should not end when you walk out the door with your pup. The relationship should be there for the rest of that pup's life. Glad you are doing your homework before you take that step.
