Monday night I took home a (female) 5-week old Black Lab puppy. She is a female and seems to be in good health from the vaccinations/vet book. I know that you shouldn't separate a pup this young from her mother, but she would have been given away elsewhere by her breeders moving to another country and they wouldn't keep her (only her male brother and the parents).
Her name is Rogue btw.
I've one some reading around the web but still have some questions:
1) Is it too young to bother trying to start training her now ? At what age (how many weeks) should I start crate-training and potty training ?
2) She whines a LOT and doesn't seem to take to any of her new toys yet, so also playfully bites a lot (mostly my hand). She is not biting hard and is wagging her tail so I am pretty sure it's just playful, but her teeth are sharp. Any advice?
3) She has no problems eating, I give her some premium Purina Puppy Chow the vet recommended, is this good? Her poop is mostly firm and solid.
