Actually 7 weeks is the best time to place a puppy in a new home. But it is up
to the breeder to know what they are placing and do so accordingly. I do
puppy temperament testing and help with the placement of all breeds.

It's my opinion that puppies should be left with their mother and
litter as long as possible to learn social skills. I think 7 weeks is
at least a week or 2 too early to be taken away from the mother that
would be teaching her important skills. I've heard that some breeders
keep their puppies till 10 or 12 weeks for this reason.

Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] aggresive puppy
She is a dominant girl and is trying to assert herself. She needs some
guidance, rules and an education to let her know that the "boss" position is
filled. Do not pamper her and make her work for things she would like. Make
sure you keep her on the floor and DO NOT carry her around.

awwww just take your time with her she is a baby herself and needs to be
taught things... I really don't understand why people get animals and right
away expect them to be trained and behave... That is something that's taught
just like a real child.... That is the reason we have soooo many homeless pets
in this world because people don't thing it through enough... a pet is a HUGE
responsibility and needs almost as much attention as a child does.. I would
give it time and teach her what you want her to do..otherwise if you don't she
wont know whats shes doing is wrong.

, aggresive, like wehn we pick her
up from sleeping, or the floor, i heard the worms thing, she has none
in her poop. Yet today sence we stoped giving her formula she has
calmed down . She growled at the baby. and once at my mother, thats it.
I picked her up today when she was playing and she did not growl at
me , I even picked her up when she was eatting and took the food from
her, not one growl from her. Yest. we could not do that. But she did
growl when I touched her mouth. Maybe it's teething thats also bugging
her, or like my last dog would not let us touch his feet without
growling, she just does not like her mouth touched. what should I do
about that ? We were going to run an ad today to find her a better
home, but we are going to ghive her a couple days or so to see if
stopping the formula or something would help.
Thank you
Cassie
