Answer
Hi Dee

thanks for this.  it was probably easy for the person writing it as they knew what they were thinking of but as someone with qualifications and 13 years professional experience I don't know the missing words!  Not surprised you don't either.

What i can tell you is that it is harmful for a dog to remain with its littermates in relation to its socialization with people and other animals, and affects the bond it will have with a member of another species (i.e. new owner).  Dogs should leave their littermates at about 8 weeks to live with a human 'pack', while continuing to socialize with other dogs too.

12-16 weeks is a huge difference in a puppy's life ( a quarter of its life in fact!), but either one is too long to remain in the litter.

I'm afraid I am unable to help with the missing words - there are so many possibilities I can't believe you are expected to guess what they want!
