| Keeping one from a litter My little girl, Babsy, has 2 pups and I am thinking about keeping one of them. Do I need to separate them at some point to make sure he gets completely weened or will Babs take care of it herself. |

| I don't have personal experience, but my puppy's breeder says she lets all of her dogs nurse until they are ready to stop. I met him at around ten weeks and all four puppies in the litter were not nursing anymore. I don't know if the pups stopped on their own or if their mother stopped them, but I do know the breeder didn't stop it. HTH |

| I too kept a puppy from my one and only litter. I just could not give up my little Isis.... Her mom, Sophie weaned the pups, I had nothing to do except start supplementing her with crushed puppy chow and chicken/rice.... She grew into one wonderful lady. Her momma taught her very well in socialization aspects, plus some human intervention

| Thanks everyone. It is hard to think of giving either one up but one of my very good friends is taking him so I can still see him whenever I want. |
