Hi All,
Looking for some advice please-Ihave read several articles regarding age of puppies that say 7/8 weeks is optimum age to bring a new puppy home and older than that means you are missing out on vital bonding time with your new pup-also if there are still litter mates with them they will have bonded more with them and you are going to have a difficult time as they will pine for their siblings.What do you think?
Also how long is acceptable to leave your puppy alone in a crate?I mean is 2hours ok(obviously with water/toy)That would be max time it would be alone once a week?
Ireally love reading all your posts and pics-it has given me confidence to look seriously for a puppy knowing there is all this experience out there-thank you !
