It's funny that you should mention this - my mom is getting a new Border Terrier puppy in a few weeks. We went to visit the breeder when the pups were about 4 weeks old. The breeder said the mom would "start to get sick of her pups soon". We thought it was so odd! But he said that it is natural as the pups get older for the mom to not want to pend as much time with them. This way they learn indepenance and it will be healthier for everyone when the pups go to their new homes. Good luck with everything!
