Ainsley Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 My sister has just called me and she has a puppy that is only 5 weeks old. I have only gotten my dogs at 8 weeks, so I am concerned there will be additional needs for a pup so young. The "breeders" told her it was fine to have the pup at this age, and hers was actually the last one to leave the Mum. Any advice would be invaluable!

persephone Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Ainsley- you might also want to try putting this the breeders' forum I would just suggest lots of warmth and rest, and a very good quality food- fed often . Socialising & stuff I can't give you much detail on ... but someone will be along to help, I'm sure. Poor little mite ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
