Question
hi

recently we bought a small puppy, maybe a month old. We bought 2 puppies,
the second one just to accompany our Guru for about 2 days. Initially when
we bought he was very aggressive and resisted our tieing a chain around
his neck. he also continouus barked. Yesterday we send his companion and
now he has become very quiet. Does't resist. One question also - how much
time in a day should the dog of said age be tied. We tie because he will
become more ferocious and not mingle with stray dogs. And how many times a
day we should feed him

Please don't put out of my expertise because I wrote to another vet on here and the did.Thank you

Answer
Hi there.  I am a bit confused.  A puppy should never leave it's mother until the age of 8 weeks old, or even up to 3 months of age.  A month old puppy is too young to be away from his mother and never tie a dog out at this age because he doesn't have his vaccinations, and will contract deadly diseases like Parvo.  Why would you want your puppy to mingle with stray dogs?  You should definately keep this dog away from stray dogs.  And I am confused because a month old puppy should never be ferocious.  A month old puppy is helpless and in need of it's mother.  Am I misunderstanding you?  Please write back with more info if I am!
