When to Leave the Litter?

EVERYONE LOVES PUPPIES AND CAN’T WAIT TO TAKE ONE HOME, BUT VETERINARIANS WARN THAT THEY SHOULDN’T BE SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THEIR LITTER TOO YOUNG.  A NEW STUDY AGREES AND SAYS THAT PUPPIES TAKEN BEFORE 2 MONTHS OF AGE ARE MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS AS ADULT DOGS.  THE RESEARCH FOUND THAT PUPPIES REMOVED BEFORE 60 DAYS WERE MORE DESTRUCTIVE, BARKED EXCESSIVELY, WERE MORE REACTIVE TO NOISES, WERE MORE LIKELY TO BITE AND SOIL THE HOUSE.
