For some reason this breeder removes the baby from the mother at age eight weeks. I know now that this is not good but he was not going to be with his mother is he stayed at the breeder so we brought him home. Sophie came from the same breeder and she did wonderful.

When Sampson latches on to Sophie she does try to stop him in a way. She yelps, I guess at him, and tries to buck him off of her but he just won't let go. Therefore, she runs away with him in tow.

I might also want to mention that Sampson was a singleton puppy. Therefore, he had no litter mates, just him.

We do play with Sampson a lot. I am home all day so he gets plenty of exercise and play time both alone and with Sophie. He does have balls, chew toys, stuffed sqeaker animals. He really has everything he should need.

Sophie does have her own special place so that she can get some peace. We also make sure that she has her own alone time with us too as not to totally upset her world.
Well that explains a lot. You are just going to have to get down on the floor and play with him, and when he getrs rough, correct him.

If you know someone with young dogs you might arrange some play dates. Other dogs will teach him what is nice and what is not.

He will probably outgrow a lot of it.
