Decided to Keep Puppy- Ok to keep with Parents??

Hi everyone,

Well My Female Staffy had her first and only Puppy 5 weeks ago!! We have since decided to keep the little man with our family. However I have just been told by one of my friends that this could potentially cause problems amongst the dogs down the track. They have told me that there could be behavioural problems between parents and baby. They said that there is a potential for them fighting with each other as it is common between siblings usually. Is this problem also evident between parents and baby? Is there anything else I should be worried about with keeping him with his parents? I will definitely be getting him desexed for obvious reasons

Thanks for your help in advance

As far as I'm aware, it's more common within same sex relatives - but couldn't say 100%. If you do decide to keep him just he gets extra training and socialization with other young puppies ASAP really, being a single puppy CAN cause pr

*oblems further down the line.
