I need some advice please, but first a little background....
I am strongly considering adopting a five week old puppy who's mother was hit by a car. The person is a hunting dog enthusiast and a hunter. She does not want the puppies because they aren't purebred walker hounds. She has pictures of her dogs on facebook. The person lives on a busy highway so she seems to be telling the truth about her puppies.
The mother was a treeing walker coonhound
The father is a Black Labrador retriever
If I choose to bring home one of these puppies...
(1) how to I prevent it from developing unwanted behavior associated with puppies that are separated from their mothers at such a young age?
(2) what should I feed the puppy?
Thank you all so very much!
