The little guy I was interested in they had kept back because they knew I was coming by. They were still willing to keep him with mom and dad for a few weeks but he would be kind of isolated in the puppy pen they have. I decided to just bring him home. It's not an ideal situation but I think we'll be alright. He just turned 6 weeks old. Saying good bye to a full nights sleep for awhile.

I've never had any issue with bite inhibition, socialization, or just basic puppy manners around older dogs. Younger then that and they should stay with mom and the litter if possible. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

FWIW, the best thing I started teaching my pup at that age was how to settle both in my arms and in a crate. Sooo very nice to have an active, drivey teenager who will "chill" (relax in my lap) on command in a variety of scenarios where he could be bouncing off the wall! K-9 Knitter

Cathy Goessman Webboard User Reg: 12-03-2007 Posts: 1231 Loc: Phoenix, AZ Offline	Here he is. A bit disoriented but eating really well. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/CathyG/IMG_1142_zpsfb901921.jpg He's currently throwing a fit in his crate but he was falling asleep in my lap so I figure he'll settle down quick. He had one potty accident in the crate on the way home but I've been able to get him out in time for everything since then. Tanner is being perfect. Slightly curious but not overly excited. I'm keeping our routine as normal as possible for him. Pup needs a name. Any suggestions?
