| Hi Marie!
From what I've read and heard, puppies should be with their mothers until they are at least 8 weeks and some say at least 12 weeks. If someone sold you that puppy at 5 weeks old, they can be reported, I believe, in some states. Secondly, it's great that dogs get socialized but please be careful of which dogs you let her meet since she hasn't had all her shots yet. Personally, I would only get together with dogs you know are healthy and have had their shots. Don't let her sniff or go near other dog's droppings. Please read this article on the parvo virus for more information: http://www.animalclinic.com/parvo.htm Here's a link to an article on puppy nipping: http://www.richmondspca.org/about/nipping.html If you go to www.google.com and type in "puppy nipping" or "puppy biting", you'lll get a wealth of information.
