I got a gsd puppy from a friend when he was 4 weeks old about 2 weeks ago. I was worried he didn't have enough socialization with other dogs. So I brought him back to play with his littermates, 1 males and 2 females yesterday. They were raised together with a mature male gsd (not the father, but a exteremely well behaved dog). When I put my puppy in the yard, the 6 week old male puppy charged on my puppy and kept biting him hard. my puppy just tried to avoid the bite. I wasn't sure what I should do. Should I keep bringing him back to play with them? Should I let him play with other dogs? How detrimental would it be if not growing up with its mom and littermates. Do not ask me why I got such a young puppy, it's a long story and irrelevent now. Your feedback will be appreciated!
shon shon...4 weeks is a bit too young to pull a pup from a litter.once you got yours,the rest formed their own pack and an "intruder" is bound to get beat up by the little guy that has assumed the alfa role...don't give up...what's done is done.do your research...if you intend to keep the little guy,someone on the board will be able to help you.
Try putting your pup with each of its littermates one at a time, and see if there are any that he can get along tolerably well if they are allowed to play by themselves. Yours definitely did miss out on some important info by leaving the litter so young, so try to find one that he can spend time with without getting beaten up.
